Evoluţia dreptului la informaţie, a libertăţii de exprimare şi a transparenţei instituţionale în contextul transformării societăţii româneşti
The Evolution of the Right to Information, Freedom of Expression and Institutional Transparency in the Context of Transformation of Romanian Society

Summary/Abstract: When dealing with institutional transparency, one should consider that Romanian society has been mostly oriented towards the opaqueness of institutions, a limitation of access to information regarding the activity of public institutions and the decision making process.Integration with Euro-Atlantic structures has resulted in the adoption of legislative acts guaranteeing the students' right to information and freedom of expression. Likewise, the concept of "transparency" has been explicitly established in the activity of public institutions.However, for reasons related to the proper operation of such institutions and social relations as a whole, both the right to information and freedom of expression can be subject to limitations, that should be proportional to the situation generating them, that should be non-discriminating and, especially, that should not affect the existence of the right or freedom itself.The evolution of fundamental human rights is closely related to the evolution of society as a whole, with a joint coverage of transformation phases.
