We will present results of our ongoing R&D started under the EU/7FP/Sec./SMART project regarding some applications of the contemporary smart ICT in selected e-government applications. Viz. e-government itself, consumer protection, border controls and protection, counter terrorism, smart surveillance in the cyberspace. The results of our particular research have been clearly showing that in addition to some evident positives and benefits as achieved by the application of the smart ICT, the same technology is very often unfortunately misused also for various clandestine activities that are violating some of the fundamental and internationally recognized human rights like e.g. right to freedom of expression, privacy, confidentiality of communications, etc. Unfortunately, in many cases these violations are made by those institutions that have to protect and guaranteeing the above FHR to all people either on the national and/or international levels.
