Journalists shall freely exercise their profession within the framework of the law. Such exercise may not be subject to any authorization or censorship, except in the case of war.

Journalists may not be compelled to reveal their sources. However, it is their duty to verify the authenticity and accuracy of information. It is also this obligation to respect the ethics of their profession.

All offenses involving the press and abuses of the right of expression come under the code of criminal law.

The right of petition is recognized. It is exercised personally by one or more citizens but never in the name of a body.

All petitions to the Legislative Branch must give rise to the regulatory procedure for ruling upon their purpose.
