Summary
Article 96 of the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia declares the right of everyone to the inviolability of the home which is one of the aspects of the concept of private life. Given that the right to privacy and housing is, in substance, both a prohibition of the state from interfering in private life and an obligation of the state to ensure adequate protection of a person’s privacy from undue interference, the publication aims to look at how this fundamental human right is protected by criminal law, to achieve this goal by analysing the relevant criminal law framework and its application practices.
