Protection of journalists and press freedom 2010, para. 90
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- As restrictive national laws are used to justify harassment and interference with citizen journalists' freedom of expression, the Special Rapporteur urges States to fulfil their international human rights obligations by ensuring that legal provisions that criminalize freedom of expression, whether in the penal code, press law or elsewhere, are in conformity with international legal standards. When promulgating Internet-specific laws, States must ensure that they comply with article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
