  abstract     = {{Once again the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has been requested to evaluate the justification by the Ukraine authorities of their refusal to give access to administrative documents to journalists or other public watchdogs (see also IRIS 2020-4:1/7 and IRIS 2020-5:1/24). In two judgments of 5 October 2023 the ECtHR made clear that the protection of privacy or personal data cannot be an absolute exception on the right of access to public or administrative documents under Article 10 the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In both judgments the ECtHR found that the Ukraine authorities made no pertinent attempt to balance a journalist’s and an NGO’s interest in having access to information of public interest under Article 10 ECHR and the need to protect the rights of private persons under 8 ECHR. In both cases the ECtHR found a violation of the right to freedom of expression and information under Article 10 ECHR.}},
