Historically, the OECD has been a forum for the creation and dissemination of principles for the protection of personal data and there has been a convergence towards the implementation of these principles globally. The advancement of technology brings new legal and regulatory challenges, which are the subject of intense discussion within the OECD. So, in addition to the guidelines, today among its policy issues are privacy enforcement cooperation, digital identity and electronic authentication, cryptography, etc. As the global south catches up with Europe in terms of privacy and data protection regulation and as new countries are welcomed into the club, questions of how the OECD framework can (and should) shape its policies, as well as what precisely is OECD’s role in issues such as enforcement and mechanisms for transnational data flow, become pressing. This panel aims to cover these topics.

• What are some of the main points of the renewed agenda of the OECD in terms of personal data protection?
• What is the possible role of the OECD in facing the problem of data protection enforcement in the Global South?
• What is the scope of the OECD’s power in defining public policy in Latin American countries and how does that affect data protection in the region?
• What is the role of ‘’soft power’’ and civil society in setting the agenda for data protection at the OECD?
