Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Taking as its point of departure the judgment of the ECtHR in the case of Petrenco v. Moldova, this article, written in 2010, provides a review of the distinction between statements of fact and value judgments, which is one of the standards which are used by the ECtHR in order to strike a "fair balance" between freedom of speech and of the press, on the one hand, and protection of personality, as an aspect of the right to protection of private life, on the other hand.
