UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Revelations of U.S. global spying have raised digital privacy protection questions the United Nations needs to address, Germany and Brazil said on Thursday as they introduced a resolution calling for an end to excessive electronic surveillance.

The draft resolution expressed deep concern "at human rights violations and abuses that may result from the conduct of any surveillance of communications, including extraterritorial surveillance of communications."
