There are a multitude of UN legal instruments which pertain to the
rights of freedom of expression and information, and this book is
the first to comprehensively map them and their function. It
details the chequered history of both of these rights within the UN
system and evaluates the suitability of the system for overcoming
contemporary challenges and threats to the rights. Leading scholars
address key issues, such as how the rights to freedom of expression
and information can come into conflict with other human rights and
with public policy goals, such as counter-terrorism. The book's
institutional focus comprises five international treaties, UNESCO
and the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression. Relevant
for academics, lawyers, policy-makers and civil society actors, it
also examines how new communication technologies have prompted
fresh thinking about the substance and scope of the rights to
freedom of expression and information.
