10. RIGHT OF REPLY AND OF RETRACTION

There is no provision that establishes the right of reply, retraction or correction in the national order. Irrespective of this, in the case of ?Ekmekdjian v. Sofovich,? of July 7, 1992, the Supreme Court, in an isolated case, accepted the right of reply in a split ruling.

The Supreme Court, without a previous law from Congress and via a court decision, accepted the right of correction or reply established in Article 14 of the American Convention on Human Rights (Agreement of San José, Costa Rica).
