Sjors Ligthart (Utrecht University; Tilburg University) & Naomi Van de Pol have posted Freedom of Thought: Absolute Protection of Mental Privacy and Mental Integrity? Considering the Case of Neurotechnology in Criminal Justice (In Patrick O’Callaghan & Bethany Shiner (Eds.), The Cambridge Handbook of the Right to Freedom of Thought, Cambridge University Press 2024, forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In recent discussions over the RFoT, it has been emphasised that for an adequate understanding, development, and application of the right, one should consider how the RFoT relates to or complements other rights, such as the right to mental privacy and mental integrity. In this chapter, we consider the interrelationship between the RFoT and the protection of mental privacy and mental integrity. We explore how the absolute protection offered by the RFoT relates to the qualified protection of mental privacy and mental integrity offered by the right to respect for private life.
