The Centre for Law and Democracy drafted this set of Briefing Notes on key freedom of expression issues. The Notes focus on twelve themes, such as the regulation of journalists, criminal content restrictions on expression and digital rights, and are designed to provide comprehensive introductory information on the subjects. Although the Notes are intended to be accessible to all audiences, including those with no experience or training in law, they provide a summary of key standards which will also be useful to more advanced readers. Each Note also contains a section at the end on further resources, for readers who want to probe the subject more deeply.
