Explanation
Convention 108 was the first legally binding international instrument in the data protection field, adopted by the Council of Europe in 1981. However, it had some limitations that led to the creation of the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) by the European Union in 1995. One of the main failings of Convention 108 was that it was implemented in a fragmented manner by a small number of states, resulting in divergent and inconsistent national laws and practices. The Data Protection Directive aimed to harmonize the data protection rules within the EU and to ensure a high level of protection for individuals' rights and freedoms.
