Entry on the right to response to be added to the Broadcasting law - the right to response will be granted to a person who believes that incorrect facts regarding him/her were broadcasted in the program

Entry on the right to response will be added to the Broadcasting law.

More specifically, on the initiative of Georgian Dream MPs, a project has been submitted to the Parliament, which establishes the rights of those whose interests, reputation and name were damaged by the transmission of incorrect facts in the television program.

According to the draft law, the person whose legal right was violated by the transmission of incorrect facts in the broadcaster's program is given the right to response. Considering the project, the interested person has the right to request the relevant broadcaster to correct or deny the false fact given in the initial statement by commensurate means and form.

The broadcaster's refusal to correct or deny a false fact by proportionate means and form can be appealed to the commission or the court.
