Abstract
-
Society changes, but certain democratic principles remain true. Among them is 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 as proclaimed in Article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Freedom of expression implies respect for the universality of the right to communicate.
