Criminal Offences Against Honour and Reputation in Croatian Criminal Law
Sanja Badrov
Sažetak
In this work, the criminal act of libel, insult and disclosure of personal and family matters, together with reproaching a criminal act, will be analysed from its determination by defi nition, to considering it from different angles, such as antinomy of freedom to express one’s opinion and the person’s right to privacy. In order to reduce in the largest possible proportion the criminal and juridical responsibility of the press for these criminal acts, and practically to decriminalize «the press libel» and thereby achieve maximal journalistic freedom, numerous modifi cations and supplements to the Penal law are made, and all in accordance with the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which is itself a part of the interior order of the Republic of Croatia. Therefore, one can say that the positive constitutional, civil and penal legislation in
Croatia is harmonized with global democratic standards and that it represents a prerequisite of informing the public about all socially important questions, enabling and asking (if necessary) to modify and add the lines of direction which are by the professional public
suggested and are connected with the protection of a person’s privacy and freedom of expression.
