The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948
proclaimed a vision of freedom of expression exercised regardless
of frontiers. Nonetheless, laws and norms regarding the freedom or
limits of expression are typically established and understood at
the national level. In today’s interconnected world, newfound
threats to free expression have suddenly arisen. How can this
fundamental right be secured at a global level? This volume brings
together leading experts from a variety of fields to critically
evaluate the extent to which global norms on freedom of expression
and information have been established and which actors and
institutions have contributed to their diffusion. The authors also
consider ongoing and new challenges to these norms, from conflicts
over hate speech and the rise of populism to authoritarian
governments, as well as the profound disruption introduced by the
internet. Together, the essays lay the groundwork for an
international legal doctrine on global freedom of expression that
considers issues such as access to government-held information,
media diversity, and political speech. As the world risks
renouncing previous commitments to the freedom of expression,
Regardless of Frontiers serves as a timely reminder of just how
much is at stake and what needs protecting.
