The right to freedom of expression in the legal system: current assessments El derecho a la libertad de expresión en el ordenamiento jurídico: valoraciones presentes

Abstract

The present research constitutes an analysis of the freedom of expression according to the content of the universal, regional, and internal instruments that integrate the defense of the right of freedoms as an obligation of the States, in terms of establishing their protection and guarantee. The growth of human rights instruments gives the human being the opportunity to exercise them and their violation constitutes a limit that must be sanctioned in order to avoid affecting the human dignity of any human being, who makes use of his freedom of expression, either individually or collectively. Subsequent or special liability, as well as the right to rectification, constitute the means of defense that those affected by a publication that affects their human dignity, their honor, their reputation and the right to a good name that every human person should have, may appeal.
