317 Semester journal of the IEEE Review judicial code, given that it is denominated uniformly in European, State and Autonomous regulations”. The European Agreement for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Liberties, better known as the European Agreement on Human Rights, produced in Rome on November 4 of 1950, in its Article 10.2 recognizes public security as a limit on the right of freedom of expression. Moreover, Article 6 of the Charter of Funda-mental Rights of the European Union, dated 7 February of 2000, regulates the “Right to Liberty and Security” and establishes the right to liberty and security of every per-son. Along the same lines, Regulation (EC) no. 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council, dated 30 May 2001, relating to public access to documents of the European Parliament, Council and Commission, regulates this among the exceptions set forth in Article 4 on access to a document whose release would represent harm to the protection of the public interest. The foregoing legislative panorama is completed with a reference to Convention No. 205 of the Council of Europe on access to public documents, dated 18 June 2009, establishing the possible limits on access to pub-lic  documents, among which are found, in its Article 3.1.b), “public security”. In second place, and in dealing with Constitutional regulation, of note is Article 105.b) of the Spanish Constitution, according to which “The Law shall regulate: b) Ac-cess by citizens to archives and administrative registers, except regarding that which affects the security and defense of the State, the discovery of crime and the privacy of persons”. Moreover, Article 104 of the Spanish Constitution attributes to the Forces and Corps of Security, under attachment to the Government, the mission of protecting the free exercise of rights and liberties and of guaranteeing citizen security. All of the foregoing having been set forth, the entitlement to competence in this material is analyzed. Specifically, the framework of competence is studied with respect to “Public Security”, and limits are defined as to what competence corresponds to the State in virtue of its exclusive titular nature and what role is played by those Auton-omous Communities which hold competence in matters of protection of persons, goods and maintenance of public order. It is appropriate to refer, before examining Constitutional jurisprudence on the subject, to Article 149.1.29th of the Spanish Con-stitution, which attributes to the State exclusive competence over matters of “Public security, without prejudice to the possibility of the creation of policies by the Autonomous Communities in the form established in the respective Statutes within the framework of the contents of an organic law”. This provision obligates definition of the scope of com-petencies in matters of Public Security and especially creation of concrete content on the material. For this, it is essential to learn the conceptualization of the material as well as the objectives and limits adopted with respect to the Constitutional jurispru-dence. As has been seen, the regimen of competencies regarding matters of public se-curity derive from Article 149.1.29 of the Spanish Constitution and from Organic Law 2/1986, dated March 13th, on the Security Forces and Corps to which this re-fers, integral elements of the block of constitutionality together with the Statutes of Autonomy.
