Abstract
This study critically assesses Albania's Law No. 19/2016 "On Additional Measures for Public Security" against the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), focusing on privacy and the right to a fair trial. Through comparative legal analysis, it juxtaposes Law No. 19/2016 with ECHR provisions and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) jurisprudence, examining the law’s alignment with human rights norms, especially regarding surveillance. The analysis uncovers substantial discrepancies, particularly in the law’s approach to public surveillance and the protection of individual rights, indicating a need for significant legal reform in Albania. The paper proposes amendments to better align national legislation with ECHR standards, advocating for clearer surveillance regulations, enhanced privacy protections, and adherence to fair legal processes. It champions a balanced public security strategy that respects human dignity and freedom, aligning with European human rights principles.
