Abstract
This article examines the inception and establishment of the Global Cross Border Privacy Rules (‘CBPR’) Forum, a recent and significant initiative aimed at facilitating cross-border personal data flows across different jurisdictions. The importance of the Global CBPR Forum is considerable. Since its inception, it has attracted the interest of over a dozen countries and leading internet companies, underscoring the pressing need to develop effective mechanisms for facilitating cross-border data flows. The Global CBPR Forum is built upon the foundation of the existing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (‘APEC’) CBPR System. However, despite its pioneering role, scholarly analysis of the APEC System’s effectiveness remains scarce. This article addresses this critical gap by comprehensively examining the APEC System’s origins and performance to date. By contextualizing the Global CBPR Forum within its predecessor, the article offers crucial insights for its practical implementation and ultimate success.
