It is shown that information, freedom, justice and law are in a close dialectical relationship. It is substantiated that in the process of realizing freedom, a person inevitably makes a choice between possible actions, and bases it on previously received information. It is concluded that informational freedom refers to the entire information and communication sphere in general and does not exhaust its meaning in freedom of speech and the right to information, but also includes many other aspects.

The dynamic civilisation transformations observed worldwide in recent years have arisen from the rapid development of information and the ICTs that support it. Cyberspace is a new sphere affected by these processes, and it evolves alongside the threats occurring therein. Nowadays, no country's cyberspace is entirely secure. Cyber threats are characterised by unpredictability and global reach. In modern times, cyberspace is a symbol of development, the freedom of speech, and the right to privacy and every interference in the behaviours of its users is associated with an attack on these values. The article discusses the fundamental problems concerning operations in cyberspace justified by the violation of human rights but should also be assessed in the context of interference with the scope of individual rights and freedoms, including in times of seemingly normal functioning, namely in times of peace.
The article delves into the analysis of the "8 March Principles" presented by the International Commission of Jurists together with UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as a set of legal principles that decriminalize behavior in the field of sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty. Utilizing ostensibly civilized forms, these principles serve the Malthusian idea of population reduction ("corruption clothed in legal forms", Malthus's term), with law being no exception. However, while in traditional contexts, "dissolute living" (Malthus's term) like marriage, contributes to population growth, emphasizing the need for chastity among the lower classes, neo-Malthusianism normalizes debauchery, indeed leading to population reduction. The aim of this article is to identify the dehumanizing content, reducing humans from social subjects to biological objects. The study's subject encompasses dehumanizing conditions reflected in the "March 8 Principles" including the destruction of family, cultural, familial-role, gender, and sexual identities; legalization of drugs and pedophilia, prostitution, and begging as forms of commercial activity; as well as the destruction of culture. The methodological basis of this research is dialectical materialism. In scrutinizing the "March 8 Principles", this study highlights the dichotomy between the purported expansion of human rights and the underlying trend towards dehumanization. By elucidating how these principles relegate individuals from social subjects to biological one, the research underscores the erosion of fundamental societal structures and cultural values. As such, it prompts critical reflection on the broader implications of legal frameworks ostensibly designed to promote human rights. Through the lens of dialectical materialism, this analysis provides valuable insights into the complexities of modern legal and socio-cultural dynamics, inviting further scholarly inquiry into the intersection of law, morality, and human dignity.

The article compares the Medina Agreement of 622 A.D. and modern Arab constitutions in the light of human rights issues. The Medina Agreement did not have a significant impact on the subsequent constitutional development in the Arab world, however, as the author shows, questions of the legal status of a person arise in Islam immediately after the Hegira. Muhammad strove to reconcile among themselves the representatives of different confessions (Muslims, Christians and Jews) who inhabited Medina at that time, and to establish the state on a solid foundation of true faith. A similar problem exists in Arab countries today, when, on the one hand, Islam is declared the state religion, and on the other, freedom of conscience is declared, subject to respect for the laws, morals and customs of a particular state.

The International Law Framework on Human Rights and Freedoms provides opportunities to limit certain human rights in emergencies, especially when it comes to protecting human health. The outbreak of the pandemy with the Covid-19 virus worldwide is one of the reasons that can lead to violation of the Human Rights and Freedoms, which are part of the democratic society. Some restrictive measures adopted by EU member states may be justified on the basis of the usual provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights concerning the protection of health, however, for exceptional measures it may require derogation of laws regarding the obligations of states under the Convention. Article 15 of the European Convention on Human Rights provides the possibility for derogation for certain obligations arising from the Convention for a specified period of time and under certain conditions, i.e. if there is a "state of emergency", war or other general danger that endangers the lives of citizens. This paper will analyze the situation in the Republic of N. Macedonia as a consequence of Covid 19 in terms of restricting human rights, according to the European Convention on Human Rights. Keywords: pandemy, freedoms, rights, restriction.
