Standards in relation to the right to privacy and family life There is an important set of international standards applicable to biometric technologies in relation to the right to private and family life, including data protection. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in his report on the right to privacy in the digital age highlighted the concerns over the use of biometric data, its potential to be “gravely abused” and States embarking on biometrics-based projects without “adequate legal and procedural safeguards in place.” (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, The right to privacy in the digital age, A/HRC/39/29, 3 August 2018, para 14.)

Mayo fue el mes en que se reactivaron las protestas sociales masivas en Cuba, con la manifestación ocurrida en el municipio Caimanera el día seis y que hasta la fecha ha dejado un saldo de seis personas detenidas -dos de ellas recientemente excarceladas- y en espera de juicio.
