Abstract: The author analyses the right to information in the light of the European Convention for defence of the human rights and the main liberties, of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and Romanian right. After stating that this right is one of the two main elements of the right to expression freedom, next to the right of opinion freedom, the author shows, on one side, that the freedom to information supposes responsibility and, on the other side, this should be respected by public authorities, as well as by any natural or juridical person.

Keywords: the right to information; expression freedom; opinion freedom; European Court of Human Rights. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
