What Eritrea MOICT Framework - AU Malabo Convention and Constitutional Privacy Obligations requires
Eritrea's Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MOICT) oversees the regulation of telecommunications and ICT services in the State of Eritrea. The Eritrean Ratified Constitution of 1997 establishes fundamental rights including the inviolability of private life and correspondence, and the right to personal liberty and dignity; however, this Constitution has not been implemented and Eritrea operates under a system of rule by Presidential Decree and a series of Proclamations governing economic and regulatory matters. Eritrea does not have a standalone comprehensive personal data protection law. As a member state of the African Union, Eritrea is nominally subject to the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (Malabo Convention, 2014), which provides the applicable regional standard for personal data protection in Africa. The telecommunications sector is regulated under the Eritrean Telecommunications Services Corporation (EriTel), the state-owned telecommunications operator. Organisations processing personal data in Eritrea must recognise the significant governance and compliance risks associated with operations there, including the absence of independent judicial oversight, the highly restrictive regulatory environment, and the limited rule of law. Legal counsel familiar with the specific operational context in Eritrea should be engaged before commencing personal data processing operations.
