Convention—that is, related to the right to access to justice—but also and effectively under Article 13, which establishes the right to freedom of expression. Consequently, I am additionally inclined to argue that the right to the truth is directly and closely related to the right to information, according to which—based on a comparative reading that makes use of the regional dialogue—it is, for example, contemplated that all persons have the right, on the one hand, to seek, receive, exchange, produce, and disseminate information about facts and processes in the general interest (Art.61 Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador); this right encompasses the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds. In Spain, the right to information has been established in the Constitution as a dual right: the right to communicate and the right to receive information, recognized in numerous rulings by the Constitutional Court. 17 Article 20(1)(d) recognizes, therefore, two differentiated rights in which it is possible to distinguish both objective and subjective dimensions. Objectively, both rights correspond to the community, and are constituted as a guarantee of free public communication, thus endowing them with a special precedence over other constitutional rights, "with an effectiveness that transcends what is common and characteristic of other constitutional rights.” However, the freedom to transmit information is the only one that can be subjectivized, receiving individual protection, whether it is exercised by information professionals or by any citizen. The dual nature of this right—individual and collective—may enable us to face the challenges of post-truth societies more decisively, or as De Cabo said, enable us to recognize that the right to information “Acquires in this way a dimension more of a social or collective right (such as peace or a healthy environment), than an individual guarantee,” bringing us closer to identifying the right to the truth with this dual dimension of the right to information, laying the groundwork for replacing the criminal procedural approach of 17 STC 105/1983, FJ 11
