This article explores and analyzes reactions, policies, and projects that have emerged post-Snowden in India and Belgium in an attempt to understand the impact of the Snowden Revelations across jurisdictions. Part 1 provides an overview of the post-Snowden public response in India and Belgium. Parts 2 and 3 give an overview of the post-Snowden inquiries and cybersecurity initiatives in India and Belgium. Part 4 refers to surveillance initiatives by India and Belgium, of which some have an obvious extraterritorial reach. Finally, we draw conclusions from the comparison between the post-Snowden response of India and Belgium, and point to the adoption of the International Principles on the Application of Human Rights to Communications Surveillance, as well as internal reviews of national surveillance legal regimes and practices as steps that both governments, despite contextual differences, could adopt.
