28 April 2025.
You are invited to a webinar hosted by the Centre for Law and Democracy (CLD) on international freedom of expression standards on the right to information, and on restrictions on this right and freedom of expression on national security grounds. The webinar will feature a presentation from CLD introducing international standards on the right to information and a second presentation split into two parts, the first on national security restrictions on the right to information and the second on national security and freedom of expression.
The webinar is open to everyone but is directed at lawyers who work at the national level and wish to enhance their understanding of international law standards in these areas, including with a view to bringing national rules more fully into line with international human rights. The webinar is designed to be interactive in nature, allowing for participants to make observations, share their experiences and ask questions.
The webinar will be held on 13 May 2025 at 9:00 Eastern Time/15:00 Central European Time and will last for 1 1/2 hours. A draft agenda for the webinar is available here.
This webinar is being held as part of CLD’s Supporting the Establishment of Networks of Media Lawyers Globally project, funded by the Global Media Defence Fund managed by UNESCO. The project seeks to encourage the creation of and support national-level networks of legal professionals working to advance media freedom and freedom of expression.
