EMPLOYEE’S RIGHT TO INFORMATION IN ECHR JUDGMENTS: ANALYSIS OF SPECIFIC CASES WHERE THIS RIGHT WAS VIOLATED OR RECOGNIZED - DOI: 10.12818/P.0304-2340.2024v84p335

Abstract

Observance of the employee’s right to access
information is important because the priority direction of state policy is the formation
of a democratic country, which presupposes a
strict observance of inalienable human rights
and freedoms, maintenance of the rule of law
and democracy. This study contributes to the
development of the national legal system, protection of human rights, and preparation of
Ukraine for integration into the European legal framework. It is necessary to take into account and adapt European standards to ensure
fair and effective mechanisms for protecting
employees’ rights. Therefore, the study of the
ECHR cases on the employee’s information
right can help Ukraine to adapt its legislation
and judicial practice to European standards, which is a necessary step towards joining the
European Union.
