Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica, Independent Newspapers (Pty) Ltd. v Minister for Intelligence Services CCT 38/07 (2008); S. v Mamabolo CCT 44/00 (2001), entre otras. “Plainly it would be difficult to single out any aspect of government of higher concern to the people than the manner in which criminal trials are conducted”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v Virginia 448 U.S. 555 (1980). “The press and general public have a constitutional right of access to criminal trials (…) embodied in the First Amendment”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Globe Newspaper Co. v Superior Court for the County of Norfolk, 457 U.S., 596 (1982). En el mismo sentido, la Corte Suprema del Reino Unido ha señalado que: “It has been recognized for many years that the press reporting of legal proceedings is an extension of the concept of open justice, and it is inseparable from it”. Corte Suprema del Reino Unido, Khuja v Times Newspapers Limited. UKSC 49 (2017). “Underlying the First Amendment right of access criminal trials is the common understanding that ‘a major purpose of that Amendment was to protect the free discussion of governmental affairs’”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Globe Newspaper Co. v Superior Court for the County of Norfolk, 457 U.S., 596 (1982). “The justification for the principle of open justice (…) namely the value of public scrutiny as a guarantor of the quality of justice. (…) Its significance has if anything increased in an age which attaches growing importance to the public accountability of public officers and institutions and to the availability of information about the performance of their functions”. Corte Suprema del Reino Unido, Khuja v Times Newspapers Limited. UKSC 49 (2017). En el mismo sentido, la Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica ha indicado lo siguiente: “Of course this openness seeks to ensure that the citizenry know what is happening, such knowledge in turn being a means towards the next objective: so that the people can discuss, endorse, criticise, applaud or castigate the conduct of their courts. And, ultimately, such free and frank debate about judicial proceedings serves more than one vital public purpose. Self-evidently such informed and vocal public scrutiny promotes impartiality, accessibility and effectiveness, three of the important aspirational attributes prescribed for the judiciary by the Constitution”. Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica, S. v Mamabolo CCT 44/00 (2001). Id. “More generally, the courts have an inherent power to sit in private where it is necessary for the proper administration of justice. (…) The inherent power of the courts extends to making orders for the conduct of the proceedings in a way which will prevent the disclosure in open court of the name of the parties or witnesses or of other matters, and it is well established that this may be a preferable alternative to the more drastic course of sitting in private”. Corte Suprema del Reino Unido, Khuja v Times Newspapers Limited, UKSC 49 (2017). “Although the right of Access to criminal trials is of constitutional stature, it is not absolute. (…) But the circumstances under which the press and public can be barred from a criminal trial are limited; the State’s justification in denying access must be a weighty one. Where, as in the present case, the State attempts to deny the right of access in order to inhibit the disclosure of sensitive information, it must be shown that the denial is necessitated by a compelling governmental interest, and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Globe Newspaper Co. v Superior Court for the County of Norfolk, 457 U.S., 596 (1982). Cfr. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Press-Enterprise Co. v Superior Court of California, 464 U.S. 501 (1984). Cfr.

Far from being exhaustive, the above enumeration tries only to picture the possible national authorities whose actions would be capable of limiting the exercise of freedom of expression.

To enable the deciding judge to gain as full and accurate a picture as possible of the advantages and disadvantages of the various residence and contact options open to the child, it is essential that the parents and other witnesses feel able to express themselves candidly on highly personal issues without fear of public curiosity or comment”.

The Court observes that the need to protect the safety of victims and witnesses through the exclusion of the public from the trial was first mentioned by the Moscow City Court in its decision of 25 December 2001. The reasons given by the Moscow City Court for holding the hearing in camera were “to guarantee security to the victims, witnesses and other parties to the proceedings, taking into account the character of the charges”. The Court considers these reasons to be regrettably laconic. It would have been preferable to have expanded this element to explain in more detail why the City Court was worried about the vulnerability of certain victims and witnesses or whether and why it was concerned that witnesses and victims could have been deterred. It was also important to explain why the concern for the safety of victims and witnesses outweighed the importance of ensuring the publicity of the trial. Moreover, if the trial court had indeed taken into account certain information, this should have been presented to the parties, in particular the applicant, so that an open discussion of the matter could have occurred (…) The Court notes that the government submitted no documents to show what information had served as a basis for the City Court’s decision”.

Nebraska Press Association v Stuart, 427 U.S. 539 (1976). “It is true that unlike a criminal trial, the California preliminary hearing cannot result in the conviction of the accused and the adjudication is before a magistrate or other judicial officer without a jury. But these features, standing alone, do no make public access any less essential to the proper functioning of the proceedings in the overall criminal justice process (….) the preliminary hearing in many cases provides ‘the sole occasion for public observation of the criminal justice system’”.

Asimismo, esta corte ha advertido que “the presumption of openness may be overcome only by an overriding interest based on findings that closure is essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest. The interest is to be articulated along with findings specific enough that a reviewing court can determine whether the closure order was properly entered”, Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Press-Enterprise Co. v Superior Court of California, 464 U.S. 501 (1984). En otras oportunidades, esta Corte ha admitido que la limitación a la publicidad puede estar justificada en asegurar la correcta administración de justicia (“in some limited circumstances, closure may be warranted.

(…) If the interest asserted is the right of the accused to a fair trial, the preliminary hearing shall be closed only if specific findings are made demonstrating that there is a substantial probability that the defendant’s right to a fair trial will be prejudiced by publicity that closure would prevent”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Press-Enterprise Co. v Superior Court of California, 478 U.S. 1 (1986). “The closure must be no broader than necessary to protect that interest (…). The closure of the entire suppression hearing here plainly was unjustified. The State’s proffer was not specific as to whose privacy interests might be infringed if the hearing were open to the public, what portions of the wiretap tapes might infringe those interests”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Waller v Georgia, 467 U.S. 39 (1984). “Any closure of a suppression hearing over the objections of the accused must meet the following test: (…) the trial court must consider reasonable alternatives to closing the hearing”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Waller v Georgia, 467 U.S. 39 (1984). En el mismo sentido, “the trial judge made no findings to support closure; no inquiry was made as to whether alternatives solutions would have met the need to ensure fairness; there was no recognition of any right under the Constitution for the public or press to attend the trial, and there was no suggestions that any problems with witnesses could not have been dealt with by exclusion from the courtroom or sequestration during the trial, or that sequestration of the jurors would not have guarded against their being subjected to any improper information”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v Virginia 448 U.S. 555 (1980). “Although the entry of the order might be read as a judicial determination that other measures would not suffice, the trial court made no express findings to that effect; the Nebraska Supreme Court referred to the issue only by implication”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Nebraska Press Association et al. v Stuart Judge et al. 427 US 539 (1976). Cfr. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Press-Enterprise Co. v Superior Court of California, 464 U.S. 501 (1984) (“”there was also failure to consider alternatives to closure and to total suppression of the transcript. The trial judge should seal only such parts of the transcript as necessary to protect the anonymity of the individuals sought to protect”). “The closure of the entire suppression hearing here plainly was unjustified. The State’s proffer was not specific as to whose privacy interests might be infringed if the hearing were open to the public, what portions of the wiretap tapes might infringe those interests (…) and the court did not consider alternatives to immediate closure of the hearing”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Waller v Georgia, 467 U.S. 39 (1984). Id. “Assuming that some jurors had protectible privacy interests in some of their answers, the trial judge provided no explanation as to why his broad order denying access to information at the voir dire was not limited to information that was actually sensitive and deserving of privacy protection. Nor did he consider whether he could disclose the substance of the sensitive answers while preserving the anonymity of the jurors involved. // Thus not only was there a failure to articulate findings with the requisite specificity, but there was also a failure to consider alternatives to closure and to total suppression of the transcript. The trial judge should seal only such parts of the transcript as necessary to preserve the anonymity of the individuals sought to be protected”. Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Press-Enterprise Co. v Superior Court of California, 464 U.S. 501 (1984). “The Massachusetts statute cannot be justified on the basis of either the State's interest in protecting minor victims of sex crimes from further trauma and embarrassment or its interest in encouraging such victims to come forward and testify in a truthful and credible manner. (…) Compelling as the first interest is, it does not justify a mandatory closure rule. Such interest could be just as well served by requiring the trial court to determine on a case-by-case basis whether the State's legitimate concern for the minor victim's wellbeing necessitates closure. Such an approach ensures that the constitutional right of the press and public to gain access to criminal trials will not be restricted except where necessary to protect the State's interest”.

Vancouver Sun v Attorney General 2 S.C.R. 332 (2004). “Public access to the courts guarantees the integrity of judicial processes by demonstrating “that justice is administered in a non-arbitrary manner, according to the rule of law”. Openness is necessary to maintain the independence and impartiality of courts. It is integral to public confidence in the justice system and the public’s understanding of the administration of justice. Moreover, openness is a principal component of the legitimacy of the judicial process and why the parties and the public at large abide by the decisions of courts”. Vancouver Sun v Attorney General 2 S.C.R. 332 (2004). “The freedom of the press to report on judicial proceedings is a core value. Equally, the right of the public to receive information is also protected by the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression”. Vancouver Sun v Attorney General 2 S.C.R. 332 (2004). “Equally, the right of the public to receive information is also protected by the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression. The press plays a vital role in being the conduit through which the public receives that information regarding the operation of public institutions. Consequently, the open court principle, to put it mildly, is not to be lightly interfered with”. Vancouver Sun v Attorney General 2 S.C.R. 332 (2004). Cfr. “It is also essential to a democracy, and crucial to the rule of law, that the courts are seen to function openly. The press must thus be free to comment and report upon court proceedings to ensure that the courts are in fact seen by all to operate openly in the penetrating light of public scrutiny. It is only through the press that most individuals can really learn of what is occurring in the courts. The members of the public, as ‘listeners’ or ‘readers’, have a right to receive information pertaining to public institutions, in particular the courts”. Edmonton Journal v Alberta, SCC 20 (1989) “Furthermore, the principle of openness of judicial proceedings extends to the pretrial stage of judicial proceedings because the policy considerations upon which openness is predicated are the same as in the trial stage. Dickson J. found ‘it difficult to accept the view that a judicial act performed during a trial is open to public scrutiny but a judicial act performed at the pretrial stage remains shrouded in secrecy’. Vancouver Sun v Attorney General 2 S.C.R. 332 (2004). “Measures that prevent the media from gathering that information, and from disseminating it to the public, restrict the freedom of the press guaranteed by s. 2 (b). To the extent that such measures prohibit public access to the courts and to information about the courts, they may also be said to restrict freedom of expression in so far as it encompasses the freedom of listeners to obtain information that fosters public criticism of the courts”. Canadian Broadcasting Group v New Brunswick (Attorney General) S.C.R. 480 (1996). Id. “While the test was developed in the context of publication bans, it is equally applicable to all discretionary actions by a trial judge to limit freedom of expression by the press during judicial proceedings”.

The rights and interests considered are broader than simply the administration of justice and include a right to a fair trial and may include privacy and security interests”. Vancouver Sun v Attorney General 2 S.C.R. 332 (2004). “When two protected rights come into conflict, Charter principles require a balance to be achieved that fully respects the importance of both rights. A hierarchical approach to rights must be avoided, both when interpreting the Charter and when developing the common law”. Dagenais v Canadian Broadcasting Group. 3 SCR 835 (1994). A publication ban should only be ordered when: (a) Such a ban is necessary in order to prevent a real and substantial risk to the fairness of the trial, because reasonably available alternative measures will not prevent the risk; and (b) The salutary effects of the publication ban outweigh the deleterious effects to the free expression of those affected by the ban (…) there must be a proportionality not only between the deleterious effects of the measures which are responsible for limiting the rights or freedoms in question and the objective, but also between the deleterious and the salutary effects of the measures”.

What would meet the ends of justice will always depend upon the facts of each case and the requirements of justice. In a certain case, the Court may feel that the trial may continue to be a public trial, but that the evidence of a particular witness need not receive excessive publicity, because fear of such excessive publicity may prevent the witness from speaking the truth”. Corte Suprema de India. Naresh Shridar Mirjakar v State of Maharashtra. 3 S.C.R. 744 (1966). “(i) To begin with, only a specified category of cases or cases of constitutional and national importance being argued for final hearing before the Constitution Bench be live streamed as a pilot project. For that, permission of the concerned Court will have to be sought in writing, in advance, in conformity with the prescribed procedure. (ii) Prior consent of all the parties to the concerned proceedings must be insisted upon and if there is no unanimity between them, the concerned Court can take the appropriate decision in the matter for live streaming of the court proceedings of that case, after having due regard to the relevancy of the objections raised by the concerned party. The discretion exercised by the Court shall be treated as final. It must be non-justiciable and non-appealable. (iii) The concerned court would retain its power to revoke the permission at any stage of the proceedings suo motu or on an application filed by any party to the proceeding or otherwise, in that regard, if the situation so warrants, keeping in mind that the cause of administration of justice should not suffer in any manner. (iv) The discretion of the Court to grant or refuse to grant such permission will be, inter alia, guided by the following considerations: (a) unanimous consent of the parties involved, (b) even after the parties give unanimous consent the Court will consider the sensitivity of the subject matter before granting such permission, but not limited to case which may arouse passion or social unrest amongst section of the public, (c) any other reason considered necessary or appropriate in the larger interest of administration of justice, including as to whether such broadcast will affect the dignity of the court itself or interfere with/prejudice the rights of the parties to a fair trial, (v) There must be a reasonable time-delay (say ten minutes) between the live court proceedings and the broadcast, in order to ensure that any information which ought not to be shown, as directed by the Court, can be edited from being broadcast”.

Tripathi v Supreme Court of India 1232 (2017). “[T]he limitations of the jurisdiction to impose silence or secrecy must be commensurate with the purpose for which the jurisdiction exists. That purpose is to keep the Court available for the enforcement of rights or the redress of wrongs, and it would not be so available if it could be made a vehicle for publishing the secret after the hearing is over. I think we are driven to say that there is jurisdiction to treat as a contempt of Court any wilful and malicious publication of such a kind as that, if it were known to be allowed, ordinary sensible people would not come to the Court at all”. Cámara de los Lores, Scott v Scott (2013); “While there is no contrary public interest recognised and protected by the law, the press is free to publish anything it likes. Subject to the law of defamation, it does not matter how trivial, spiteful or offensive the publication may be. But when press freedom comes into conflict with another interest protected by the law, the question is whether there is a sufficient public interest in that particular publication to justify curtailment of the conflicting right. In the example I have given, there is no public interest whatever in publishing to the world the fact that the citizen has a drug dependency. The freedom to make such a statement weighs little in the balance against the privacy of personal information”, Cámara de los Lores, Campbell v MGM Ltd (2004). “It has been recognised for many years that press reporting of legal proceedings is an extension of the concept of open justice, and is inseparable from it. In reporting what has been said and done at a public trial, the media serve as the eyes and ears of a wider public which would be absolutely entitled to attend but for purely practical reasons cannot do so”.

8. Derecho al respeto de la vida privada y familiar: “1. Toda persona tiene derecho al respeto de su vida privada y familiar, de su domicilio y de su correspondencia.

2. No podrá haber injerencia de la autoridad pública en el ejercicio de este derecho salvo cuando esta injerencia esté prevista por la ley y constituya una medida que, en una sociedad democrática, sea necesaria para la seguridad nacional, la seguridad pública, el bienestar económico del país, la defensa del orden y la prevención de las infracciones penales, la protección de la salud o de la moral, o la protección de los derechos y las libertades de terceros”. “The tests which the court must apply are the familiar ones. They are whether publication of the material pursues a legitimate aim and whether the benefits that will be achieved by its publication are proportionate to the harm that may be done by the interference with the right to privacy. The jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights explains how these principles are to be understood and applied in the context of the facts of each case. Any restriction of the right to freedom of expression must be subjected to very close scrutiny. But so too must any restriction of the right to respect for private life”. Cámara de los Lores. Campbell v MGM Ltd. (2004). “These two decisions are the principal English authorities for an approach to the balancing exercise which is fact-specific rather than being dependent on any a priori hierarchy of rights.

Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica. Independent Newspapers (Pty) Ltd. v Minister for Intelligence Services CCT 38/07 (2008). “Section 34 does not only protect the right of access to courts but also commands that courts deliberate in a public hearing.

Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica. Independent Newspapers (Pty) Ltd. v Minister for Intelligence Services CCT 38/07 (2008). Cfr. S. v Mamabolo CCT 44/00 (2001): “The judiciary cannot function properly without the support and trust of the public. Therefore courts have over the centuries developed a method of functioning, a self-discipline and a restraint which, although it differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, has a number of essential characteristics. The most important is that judges speak in court and only in court. They are not at liberty to defend or even debate their decisions in public. It requires little imagination to appreciate that the alternative would be chaotic. Moreover, as a matter of general policy judicial proceedings of any significance are conducted in open court, to which everybody has free access and can assess the merits of the dispute and can witness the process of its resolution. This process of resolution ought as a matter of principle to be analytical, rational and reasoned. The rules to be applied in resolving the dispute should either be known beforehand or be debated and determined openly. All decisions of judicial bodies are as a matter of course announced in public; and, as a matter of virtually invariable practice, reasons are automatically and publicly given for judicial decisions in contested matters. All courts of any consequence are obliged to maintain records of their proceedings and to retain them for subsequent scrutiny. Ordinarily the decisions of courts are subject to correction by other, higher tribunals, once again for reasons that are debated and made known publicly”. “In our constitutional scheme a right entrenched in the Bill of Rights is certainly not absolute. Nor do we subscribe to a hierarchy of entrenched freedoms and fundamental rights. A right may be limited, but only in terms of a law of general application to the extent that the limitation is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom or by any other provision of the Constitution”. Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica. SABC v NDPP, CCT 58/00 (2006). “[O]penness and accountability are underlying values of the Constitution and that, in accordance with the principle of open justice, the public should, as far as possible, be informed and aware of what takes place in our courts. Where a court exercises a discretion under section 173, it must ensure that if, in so doing, it impinges upon rights entrenched in chapter 2 of the Constitution, the extent of the impairment of rights is proportional to the purpose the court seeks to achieve. We do not need to consider here whether this is a section 36 limitation analysis or not. It is clear that it is a proportionality enquiry that a court exercising its section 173 powers must undertake”. Corte Constitucional de Sudáfrica.

Cuando cualquiera de los intervinientes en el proceso lo solicite, la autoridad competente podrá determinar la reserva de identidad respecto de los datos personales de la víctima, los de sus descendientes y los de cualquier otra persona que esté bajo su guarda o custodia”. Ley 906 de 2004, artículos 150: “Restricciones a la publicidad por motivos de orden público, seguridad nacional o moral pública. Cuando el orden público o la seguridad nacional se vean amenazados por la publicidad de un procedimiento en particular, o se comprometa la preservación de la moral pública, el juez mediante auto motivado, podrá imponer una o varias de las siguientes medidas:

1. Limitación total o parcial del acceso al público o a la prensa.

2. Imposición a los presentes del deber de guardar reserva sobre lo que ven, oyen o perciben”. Ley 906 de 2004, artículo 152A: “En aras de garantizar la vida e integridad personal de los testigos, el juez o el tribunal podrá decretar la prohibición de que sean fotografiados, o se capte su imagen a través de cualquier otro medio”.

Sentencia SU 479 de 2019. “La necesidad de que las decisiones de los jueces estén plenamente sustentadas en el marco jurídico aplicable y en los supuestos fácticos objeto de estudio, condujo a que la ausencia de motivación de la decisión judicial se convirtiera en una causal independiente de procedibilidad de la tutela contra sentencias, tras ser valorada, en varias ocasiones, como una hipótesis de defecto sustantivo o material”. Sentencia SU 659 de 2015. “Decisión sin motivación, es decir, cuando las determinaciones adoptadas en la parte resolutiva de la providencia y mediante las cuales se resuelve de fondo el asunto no encuentran en la parte motiva el fundamento o ratio decidendi, que permita a los destinatarios de las mismas ejercer un control sobre la razón de dichas decisiones y eventualmente controvertirlas”.

Sentencias SU 115 de 2019 y SU 069 de 2018. “La jurisprudencia constitucional también ha decantado que la autonomía de los jueces encuentra un límite ante la relevancia del precedente en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano y la garantía efectiva del derecho fundamental a la igualdad consagrado en el artículo 13 Superior, lo cual implica el derecho ciudadano a tener una interpretación y aplicación equivalente de la Ley”. Sentencia SU 479 de 2019. “El respeto del precedente jurisprudencial también se encuentra íntimamente ligado a la obligatoriedad de los fallos de tutela, lo cual emana precisamente del respeto por la institucionalidad y los valores y reglas que rigen el Estado social de derecho. Ello permite garantizar que las decisiones de los jueces no sean arbitrarias, caprichosas o que desconozcan la interpretación autorizada de la Carta Política”. Sentencia SU 115 de 2019.

Por ejemplo, en la sentencia T-008 de 2020, la Corte consideró que este defecto se configuraba, por cuanto el funcionario judicial “no tuvo en cuenta que el caso implicaba considerar la tensión entre los derechos de la niña a no ser revictimizada, por un lado, y de acceso a la administración de justicia, participar y que se tenga en cuenta su opinión en el proceso penal (…)”. Sentencia SU 226 de 2019. “Se trata de un verdadero defecto sustantivo porque se dio en un abierto desconocimiento del marco jurídico en materia de pensiones, de las obligaciones de los sujetos que participan de éste, de las consecuencias de su incumplimiento, y sobre todo del mandato constitucional según el cual las cargas negativas de las inobservancias del empleador o de las entidades administradoras, bajo ninguna circunstancia, pueden ser atribuidas al trabajador”. Sentencia T-360 de 2018. “(i) La decisión se fundamenta en una hermenéutica no sistémica de la norma, con omisión del análisis de otras disposiciones que regulan el caso. En el presente asunto la sentencia demandada dejó de lado el marco jurídico conforme con el cual resulta aplicable el tope pensional de 25 smlmv inclusive respecto de pensiones reconocidas en virtud del régimen de transición.
