Civilian Drones, Visual Privacy and EU Human Rights Law 1st Edition

Civilian Drones, Visual Privacy and EU Human Rights Law — 1st Edition by Girish Agarwal presents a timely, authoritative exploration of how everyday drone technology collides with privacy rights across the European Union. Perfect for legal practitioners, policymakers, academics and privacy-conscious citizens, this book illuminates the complex legal landscape shaping civilian drone use in Europe.

Begin with a compelling overview of the stakes: as drones become ubiquitous for delivery, journalism and public safety, their visual capabilities raise urgent questions under EU human rights and data protection law. Agarwal navigates these issues with clarity, linking drone surveillance to Article 8 rights, GDPR principles and jurisprudence from the European Court of Human Rights and national courts across EU member states.

Readers will appreciate the book’s clear analysis of regulatory frameworks, landmark cases and enforcement trends, plus practical guidance on compliance and risk mitigation. The author balances rigorous legal research with real-world examples — from urban monitoring to commercial filming — making complex doctrine accessible without sacrificing depth.

This volume is an essential resource for those advising on drone policy, drafting privacy impact assessments, or advocating for balanced regulation that protects civil liberties while enabling innovation. It also serves as a classroom-ready text for courses on privacy, technology law and EU human rights.
