Right to be forgotten: ECtHR and CJEU case-law - Joint factsheet

This factsheet examines the "right to be forgotten" within the context of EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights. It emphasizes the intersections of these legal frameworks, with particular attention to case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).

Produced in collaboration between the ECtHR and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, this publication aims to assist lawyers and policymakers in understanding how this right is applied and balanced against other interests, such as freedom of expression and public access to information.
