Responsibility for information in the media: European practice and Ukrainian realities

Abstract

In this paper, issues of observing the principles of freedom of speech in the dissemination of information through the mass media are analyzed. The foundations of the fundamental principle of free circulation of information in its interpretation by European law enforcement institutions are investigated. The practice of applying the provisions of Article 10 of the Convention by the European Court of Human Rights has been examined and a comparative analysis of this law enforcement and Ukrainian legal proceedings has been carried out. It has been established that at present the practice of assessing the fairness of public statements and bringing to account for defamation in Europe and Ukraine is significantly different. Proposals on the adaptation of the conventional prescriptions to the national legal system are given.
