privacy of correspondence; privacy of letters; secrecy of correspondence (The secrecy of correspondence (German: Briefgeheimnis, French: secret de la correspondance, Swedish: brevhemlighet, Finnish: kirjesalaisuus, Hungarian: Levйltitok, Polish: Tajemnica korespondencji) or literally translated as secrecy of letters, is a fundamental legal principle enshrined in the constitutions of several European countries. It guarantees that the content of sealed letters is never revealed and letters in transit are not opened by government officials or any other third party. It is thus the main legal basis for the assumption of privacy of correspondence. wiki Alexander Demidov) |
