PRAVO PRIVATNOSTI - NEKA PITANJA

Abstract

The right to privacy is a basic human right which, together with other fundamental human rights and freedoms, guarantees a dignified and free human life. The enjoyment and protection of this right is the starting point of all civilizational struggles of man for his position in the social community. The modern era has brought many novelties, benefits, but also dangers for man, especially due to the development of technological and communication tools and their daily use. Human rights and freedoms are often violated through (new) media, which, on the other hand, are a basic tool for the realization of democracy and a guarantor of the enjoyment of guaranteed human rights. The freedom of expression on which the media rests is often in conflict with the right to privacy, which has evolved and gained new boundaries. It is these limits that the author will try to see through the analysis of the most important normative acts that guarantee this right, focusing on the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as the established international standards of the European Court of Human Rights. Correct understanding of the content of the right to privacy is the first measure of protection against the threat of this vital right of every human being.
