The Right to Privacy
1. The right to privacy
Privacy is a value, an interest, a right or a good. It can be analysed from an ethical perspective (as a value, a virtue or duty), from an economic perspective (as a utility, a preference or an interest), and from the perspective of political theory (as
a public and a private good). In this work, we will focus on the legal perspective, tracing positive law on the subject of privacy. Below, we will discuss the right to privacy from the perspectives of constitutional, international and supranational
law, ending with a discussion of art. 8 of the ECHR.
