The relation between right to privac y and right to access to inform ation in Turke y; two steps forward and one step backward fr om the Council of Access to Information

Abstract

In contemporary democracies, it is within the scope of the rights of individuals to participate in the governance of the country by their representatives as well as by creation of an agenda, exchange of the information, organising campaigns and employing other methods. In certain circumstances, the exercise of this right requires the obtainment of needed information from the state authorities. The fact that many contemporary countries have safeguarded the right to access to information by law is for the meeting of this necessity. However, sometimes, the needed information may relates to the others. How seriously the defence for the right to privacy will be taken in such circumstances? In this paper, firstly, in order to reveal how the applications for access to information is treated, the limited number of decisions of the Council of Access to Information, which is related to the subject matter will be examined. Afterhand, the legal basis for the access to information in the national and international level and the appropriateness of the treatment of the Access to Information Council of applications for access to information will be queried under the requirements of international human rights documents of which our country is a party As it will be argued that the right to access to information is contained by the free speech clauses, an examination limited to the subject matter, which is on the scope and limitations of this right will be carried out and, finally, whether the decisions of refusal of applications for the access to information, which are based on the reservation for the right to privacy violate the right to freedom of speech will be analysed.

Keywords
