The Surveillance Oversight Database curates law and oversight reports from intelligence agencies in France, Germany and the UK.
The Surveillance Oversight Database curates law and oversight reports from intelligence agencies in France, Germany and the UK. It was created by GUARD//INT, a collaborative research project between partners based at King’s College London, Sciences Po Paris, University Jean Moulin Lyon 3, Stiftung Neue Verantwortung and WZB (Berlin Social Science Centre).
The database was built on HURIDOCS’s flagship tool Uwazi.
