THE CONCEPT OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY IN NORTH MACEDONIAN MEDIA LAW IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND MEDIA

Abstract

The main duty of the press law, which is the duty of transmitting information to people objectively, and the principle of respecting the dignity, dignity and private life of the person within the scope of basic human rights and dignity, and especially the widespread crimes of insult and slander, at this point, the European Union law attaches importance and therefore it is in question. violations will be punished. The ways in which these regulations are regulated within the legal framework and especially within the framework of the press and media law will be examined in this scientific study.

Although the privacy of private life is regulated in many laws and international conventions, there is no clear definition of what the private life is. However, with the rapidly developing technology and the use of social media, it has become quite difficult to surround the privacy of private life with concrete and clear rules.

Although the terms "family", "housing", "communication" in paragraph 1 of Article 8 of the ECHR also constitute different elements of "private life", which constitute a whole, regulations have been made by the legislator in order to protect the principle of privacy in the domestic law of North Macedonia. From the point of view of Public Law, Criminal Responsibility for any interference with the principle of privacy is regulated in Article 11 of the Press Law of North Macedonia.

It has been seen that the press and the media, which some scientists see as the fourth power, reach large masses today, and that the written and visual media bring along the sharing of information that harms the dignity of individuals and other basic human rights and freedoms, especially the crime of insult and slander, so the legislator takes every effort to prevent these violations and makes legal arrangements.
