The Cities, Citizens and Videosurveillance European project led to the drafting of a Charter for a democratic use of video surveillance, that includes a series of basic principles and practical tools aimed at helping local authorities to guarantee the respect of fundamental rights in the use of CCTV. Available in ten languages, this Charter has been signed by various mayors of European cities, and is open for signature to all. For more information, please visit www.cctvcharter.eu
