Summary/Abstract: The subject of the report is the right to privacy of the so-called ''public persons'' (more precisely of those who are known to the public because they are engaged in work in the public interest). The aim is to strike a balance between this fundamental human right, on the one hand, and freedom of expression and freedom of information, on the other. Arguments are put forward in favor of the view that the privacy of the ''public figure'' should be as protected as that of other citizens.
