حرية الإعلام والحق في الحياة الخاصة

Abstract EN

Freedom is not olute, but is relative.

It is limited to what guarantees the security and tranquility of society.

Therefore, a balance has to be made between public order and individual freedoms, which requires setting disciplines or what are termed restrictions.

The right to private life is considered one of the personal rights for which definition has not been established, which requires control to protect it.

The public s right to media is one of the limiting aspects of the said right, provided to media ethics.

As the right of the public to the media is a restricted manifestation of this right provided that the media ethics are adhered to, we also propose to amend article 303 of the Penal Code and add the term public place since protection is no longer limited to the private place in this era, because the public place is also dangerous, meaning that the person is vulnerable to abuse even if he is in a public place.

The criminalization for the right of private life is removed when exceptional circumstances, exist, and when the right holder element of consent exists, taking into account the limits of the consent legitimacy as a reason for permitting the violation of this right, as well as the third restriction to be related to evidence and information.
