Germany and Brazil working on UN resolution concerning NSA spying

Germany and Brazil are working on a UN General Assembly resolution aimed at highlighting international anger at US data snooping in other countries, diplomats said Friday.
The resolution would not mention the United States and would call for extending the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to internet activities.
“German and Brazilian diplomats met counterparts from Europe and Latin America today to discuss a draft resolution,” a UN diplomat involved in the talks said on condition of anonymity.
“The aim is to send a message to those who abuse the system,” added the diplomat.
