Resumen

This work aims to clarify whether the right to be forgotten as framed by the European Court of Justice should be recognized as an implicit right to the American Convention on Human Rights. After exploring the different avenues for its recognition, it argues that the formal sources of the Inter-American Human Rights System have not granted informational privacy in the form of the "right to be forgotten" the status aforementioned. Moreover, it upholds that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights could not reasonably grant it such a status, without harmonizing its content with other rights, particularly the guarantees that protect the right to freedom of expression.
