Criminal liability for violation of the human right to the privacy protection under the legislation of foreign countries
The article analyzes the norms of the criminal legislation of foreign countries, which provide for liability for violation of the human right to privacy protection. It is concluded that in the constitutional legislation of the countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal system, there are no norms that enshrine the human right to privacy protection. The countries of civil law have recognized the need and importance of securing this right at the constitutional level. A broad interpretation and understanding of the individual's right to privacy protection, adopted in foreign countries, creates certain difficulties in establishing criminal liability for an infringement of this right.
