Abstract [eng] Offences in private life are dayly occurrence. Public information means very often abuse their own rights and in impermissible ways struggle through private lives instead of presenting more information about personal life inviolability and its defence possibilities. This kind of situation has several backgrounds – first of all, after soviet period`s deprivation of individual lives and poor legal education of the society it is still felt that people are not used to defend their offenced rights, using all possibilities provoded by law; secondly, due to enourmous infomation technologies‘ development pace science of law cannot keep up properly analysing and evaluating newly appeared relations, so standarts of law solve practical problems just for a part. The information of the society requires high culture level, strong ethic and moral positions, respect to the values and moral norms, recognized on the country’s, national and international levels. This is the sphere, where narrow private and group interests, wishes to apply and develop demoralizing show business “culture”, abuse of ethic norms should not be acceptable. Freedom of the media is inseparatable from social and legal responsibility, because when standarts of law do not work, democraty suffers and human rights are downgraded. The essence of the right of personal life inviolability is the right to decide himself/herself what kind and amount of information to reveal about own private life under the condition that such information can be announced just having the permit of the person. In such cases, when person’s right of personal life inviolability is being defended, there is conflict of two equal constitutional values – the right of personal life inviolability and society’s right to know, so it is important to look for wise and honest ballance of the two defended rights. On the other hand, each right and freedom has its edges, which are indicated in the laws in order to defend public interest and rights of other people. The right of personal life inviolability is expired, when there is need to stop a criminal action, defend rights of other persons and when society has to be defended from abuses of authority´s representatives.
