Nová Islandská ústava (podrobnosti a její anglický překlad na
http://stjornlagarad.is/english/ ) obsahuje v článku 14:
Article 14.
Right to having and expressing opinions
All are free to have their opinions and convictions and shall have the right to express
their thoughts.
Censorship and other comparable impediments to the freedom of opinion must never
be enacted into law. Limits on the expression of opinion may, however, be stipulated by law
to protect children, security, health, the rights or reputation of others, as necessary in a
democratic society.
The public authorities shall guarantee the conditions for an open and informed
discourse. The access to the Internet and information technology shall not be limited unless by
a court verdict and subject to the same conditions as apply to the limits of the expression of
opinion.
All persons shall be responsible for the expression of their opinions before a court.
a v článku 15:
Article 15.
Right to information
All persons shall be free to collect and disseminate information.
Public administration shall be transparent and shall preserve documentation, such as
minutes of meetings, and shall register and document issues, their origin, record and final
resolution. Such documentation may not be deleted unless according to law.
Information and documents held by public authorities shall be available without
exception and the access of the public to all documents collected or paid for by public
authorities shall be assured by law. A list of all cases and documents held by public
authorities, their origin and content shall be open to all.
The collection, dissemination and delivery of documents, their preservation and
publication may only be abridged by law for a democratic purpose, such as for the protection
of personal privacy, the inviolacy of private life, the security of the state or the lawful activity
of supervisory agencies. Limits of access to working documents may be enacted, provided
that such limits are not more extensive than necessary in order to protect the normal working
conditions of public authorities.
Information on the reasons and the time limits for secrecy shall be available for all
documents under lawful secrecy.
a článek 16:
Article 16.
Freedom of the media
The freedom of the media, their editorial independence and transparency of ownership
shall be ensured by law.
The protection of journalists, sources and informants shall be ensured by law. Source
confidentiality may not be abrogated without the consent of the informant except in criminal
case proceedings and by a court verdict.
Tahle nová ústava AFAIK ještě nebyla schválena Islandským parlamentem (byla dokončena a předána k projednání parlamentem 27.7.2011), ale rozhodně by stálo za to její osud pečlivě sledovat, a pokud projde, použít ji jako model.
