THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND THE PROTECTION OF THE PERSONALITY RIGHTS FROM THE JURISPRUDENCE PERSPECTIVE.

The article presents, from the perspective of the jurisprudence, namely the European Court of Human Rights case law, the particularities of the freedom of expression, one of the essential freedoms within a democratic society and its limitations imposed by the duties and responsibilities its exercise carries with it. While implementing the best mechanisms to protect this fundamental right, any democratic society should also focus on finding the right balance between protecting both the freedom of expression and the personality rights, among which we can mention the right to one's image or the right to privacy.
