Judicial Body: محكمة البلدان الأمريكية لحقوق الإنسان

Court Name: Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR)

Case Number: Series C No. 177

Case Summary: Journalist and historian, Eduardo Kimel, was given a criminal sentence for criticizing, in one of his books, the manner in which a judge conducted the investigation of a massacre perpetrated during the military dictatorship in Argentina. The Inter-American Court heard the case and ruled the Argentinian State abused its punitive power when it sentenced Mr. Kimel to a one-year prison term and payment of a sizable monetary fine for the crime of calumnia or false imputation of a publicly actionable crime. The Court held the measure was unnecessary and disproportionate and, therefore, violated the journalist’s freedom of expression. As a consequence, the Court ordered the Argentinian State to, among others things, compensate the writer and undertake a legislative reform of the criminal laws protecting honor and reputation, because they violated the principle of strict legality.

Case Significance: This important decision of the Inter-American Court reiterates and illustrates, with more precision than any previous ruling, the rule establishing that speech involving the public interest and public officials acting in the course of their duties, enjoys a greater degree of protection. Furthermore, it’s stresses the strict requirements that must be fulfilled in order to limit this specially protected speech, particularly, the “three-part test” or proportionality analysis. This decision emphasizes the need to analyze, with particular care, the use of criminal law as a measure to restrict freedom of expression.

This case did not set a binding or persuasive precedent either within or outside its jurisdiction. The significance of this case is undetermined at this point in time.
