Media and the legal Protection of Personality

In the area of the legal protection of personality, the European level is gaining in importance, as a decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) showed in 2004, which found the protection of images to be insufficient in Germany. Press law as a whole is also undergoing change, a development which the Institute is monitoring, and to the discussion of which it offers contributions. In Spring 2006, the topic was explored in more depth by a talk from Prof. Dr. Dieter Grimm, retired Judge of the Constitutional Court (see events below).
