European Court of Human Rights : Becker v. Norway
- Author
- Dirk Voorhoof (UGent)
- Organization
- Abstract
- A recent judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) reflects once more the importance of the protection of journalistic sources for press freedom. The ECtHR emphasises that a journalist’s protection under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) cannot automatically be removed by virtue of a source’s own conduct, and that source protection also applies when a source’s identity is known.
