Abstract
The Argentine Supreme Court of Justice decision, that declared the constitutionality of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law No. 26.522, became a fundamental milestone from a legal, historical and political perspective for the history of communications regulation and freedom of expression in the country. This ruling also upheld the right of the State to regulate communications regardless format and technology, based on the need of ensuring diversity and pluralism. This paper presents an analysis of the main points of this sentence. From the perspective of the authors, this decision may be as relevant at the national level as Advisory Opinion 5/85 of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has been at the regional level. For the first time, communication as a human right came first than commercialization requirements and crossed academic discussions to become jurisprudence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
