| Title | Freedom of Information - Constitutional Protection and its Legislative Regulation in Germany, the Czech Republic and Georgia |
| Summary | It has not been long that freedom of information gained the status of constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right. Its recognition spread across the world in nineteenth century and since then more countries are adopting regulations ensuring the proper access to government-held information. But there are still many uncertainties regarding what we mean under the right. This thesis aims to investigate into the inclusion of freedom of information in constitutional framework by exploring theoretical categorization of different approaches to the issue as well as justification for its protection. Moreover, the thesis aims to overview the regulations concerning freedom of information both at constitutional as well as at legislative level considering three jurisdictions. Namely, the thesis will explore relevant regulatory framework in Germany, the Czech Republic and Georgia. Moreover, the thesis will also explore the standards established by respective constitutional courts as an important source for interpretation and understanding of constitutional provisions. |
