Privacy Rights/History/Country sources/Bolivia
What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?
Bolivia
Article 147 of the 1826 Draft Constitution for the Republic of Bolivia protected the inviolability of the home.
Article 160 of the 1831 Bolivia Constitution protected the privacy of correspondence: "The secrecy of Letters is inviolable; the Employees of the Post Office shall be responsible for the violation of this guarantee, except in such cases as the Laws shall provide."
Today, privacy rights are protected in Article 21(3). These protections are general, while Article 25 protects more specific privacy rights in the home and correspondence (Constitute Project, “Bolivia (Plurinational State of) 2009” ).
