Foto de stock - The accessibility of archival sources from the totalitarian era will not worsen, but researchers must take into account the protection of delicate personal data if they publish them, the Czech Constitutional Court (US) ruled today, on Wednesday, January 11, 2017. The US has turned down a proposal opposing the exception granted to historians thanks to which they have easy access to the documents from the Nazi (1939-1945) and Communist regimes (1948-1989). For this, they do not need the consent of the living people whose sensitive personal data appear in the documents. In some cases, the researchers need the consent by the living protagonists of past events with the subsequent publication of the documents. Due to the personal data, the Supreme Court (NS) asked the US judges to say whether the legislation is in accordance with the constitutional order.
