The Right to Personal Name

Julijano Dropulić ; Ured državne uprave u Dubrovačko-neretvanskoj županiji

Sažetak

The right to personal name is a complex right, so it is regulated by constitutional, civil, and administrative laws. Article 22, Section 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia has guaranteed the inviolability of person’s privacy. The right to personal name may be included into that sphere. Furthermore, Article 19, Section 2 of the new Law of Obligations regulates rights to privacy, and includes the right to personal name among those rights, making it thus an explicit category of Croatian civil law.

There is also the administrative Law on Personal Name, passed in 1992,
whose content has not been amended since. A large part of its text is oldfashioned, some provisions are contradictory to new regulations, and it is generally unsuitable to the requirements of modern society.

The author deals with the right to personal name from all three legal aspects – constitutional. civil, and administrative – and points out the difficulties related to its legal regulation, precise definition, and universal meaning.
