Enforcing the right to be forgotten as a human right

Abstract

This paper examines the application of the right to be forgotten as a human right by analysing the provisions of the GDPR, the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Furthermore, the implication of Brexit as a result of the United Kingdom exiting the European Union in the context of the application of the GDPR is analysed generally.
