Сriminal offences against privacy in the criminal code of the Republic of Slovenia

Abstract

At a time when ever new technical means enable ever greater and ever more covert invasions of privacy, the right to privacy is increasingly under threat. The protection of privacy is so important that it is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia . Article 35 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia guarantees the protection of the right to privacy and personality rights. In addition to this general provision, the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia contains three other provisions that ensure the protection of individual rights associated with privacy. Article 36 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia guarantees the inviolability of dwellings, Article 37 thereof guarantees the privacy of correspondence and of other means of communication, and Article 38 the protection of personal data.
