Abstract

The right to information is a fundamental human right, guaranteed by international law and which has been transposed into Romanian law. Information has an essential role in social progress, in promoting social values, being also called "the oxygen of democracy". The individual's right to information underlies his participation in the life of society, in democratic accountability and information must flow in a free flow, in two directions, from society to the citizen and vice versa. In most democratic countries, and not only, this right is stipulated in legal texts of the highest level (constitutional texts), but unlike other rights, this is a relative right and not an absolute one, being susceptible to restrictions or limitations. The limitation of the right to information must be proportionate to the interest protected by this restriction on the exercise of the right.
