"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
—Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19
"Without robust and consistent protection, the right to freedom of expression may become meaningless, instead of providing effective legal protection—across the frontiers of national sovereignty, enforced orthodoxy, cultural dynamism, and new technology—for those who might otherwise be targeted for exercising that right."
—Professor Andrew DeLoach, Director of the Center for Human Rights, recently gave a lecture for the Rene Cassin Foundation's International Institute for Human Rights, in Strasbourg, France, on the "New Frontiers of Freedom of Expression"
