Download or read book Protecting the right to freedom of expression under the European Convention on Human Rights written by Bychawska-Siniarska, Dominika and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Convention on Human Rights – Article 10 – Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises. 2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary. In the context of an effective democracy and respect for human rights mentioned in the Preamble to the European Convention on Human Rights, freedom of expression is not only important in its own right, but it also plays a central part in the protection of other rights under the Convention. Without a broad guarantee of the right to freedom of expression protected by independent and impartial courts, there is no free country, there is no democracy. This general proposition is undeniable. This handbook is a practical tool for legal professionals from Council of Europe member states who wish to strengthen their skills in applying the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights in their daily work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 194 countries and 14 territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.
Download or read book Freedom Is an Endless Meeting written by Francesca Polletta and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “excellent study of activist politics in the United States over the past century” challenges the conventional wisdom about participatory democracy (Times Literary Supplement). Freedom Is an Endless Meeting offers vivid portraits of American experiments in participatory democracy throughout the twentieth century. Drawing on meticulous research and more than one hundred interviews with activists, Francesca Polletta upends the notion that participatory democracy is worthy in purpose but unworkable in practice. Instead, she shows that social movements have often used bottom-up decision making as a powerful tool for political change. Polletta traces the history of democracy from early labor struggles and pre-World War II pacifism, through the civil rights, new left, and women’s liberation movements of the sixties and seventies, and into today’s faith-based organizing and anti-corporate globalization campaigns. In the process, she uncovers neglected sources of democratic inspiration—such as Depression-era labor educators and Mississippi voting registration workers—as well as practical strategies of social protest. Polletta also highlights the obstacles that arise when activists model their democracies after nonpolitical relationships such as friendship, tutelage, and religious fellowship. She concludes with a call to forge new kinds of democratic relationships that balance trust with accountability, respect with openness to disagreement, and caring with inclusiveness. For anyone concerned about the prospects for democracy in America, Freedom Is an Endless Meeting will offer abundant historical, theoretical, and practical insights.
Download or read book Balance of Freedom written by Roger Michener and published by Paragon House. This book was released on 1998-11-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Can individual freedom and the social good be reconciled? Do liberal democracies require economic preconditions to function? Can liberal democracies escape a slow drift from individual freedom and control over private property to a large welfare state that regulates and taxes all ownership and activities? To what extent do laws intended to protect people from the arbitrary actions of government themselves lead to coercion and limit freedom? Do liberal universities produce men and women that sustain democracy or undermine it? Is there a moral vacuity in liberal democracy that will undermine its vitality?" "These questions and others like them refer to the fragile balance between conflicting principles that are demanded of modern government. Professor Michener has organized a discussion by American and European scholars of how the demands of freedom, on the one hand, and social obligation, on the other, are balanced by the primary institutions which maintain liberal democratic societies: the economy, the rule of law, and education. Their penetrating insights illuminate the debates which prevail in modern society." "The centerpiece of this book is a broad treatise by Edward Shils on the development of the modern university and its role in the creation and support of liberal democracies. Universities, while expected to educate men and women of the character democracy requires, have often been plagued by incivility." "Judge Robert Bork concludes with a view toward the prospects for democracy, noting that fractious pluralism and a cultural civil war are products of a liberalism emptied of meaning and moral purpose at its core."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Who s Afraid of Academic Freedom written by Akeel Bilgrami and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these seventeen essays, distinguished senior scholars discuss the conceptual issues surrounding the idea of freedom of inquiry and scrutinize a variety of obstacles to such inquiry that they have encountered in their personal and professional experience. Their discussion of threats to freedom traverses a wide disciplinary and institutional, political and economic range covering specific restrictions linked to speech codes, the interests of donors, institutional review board licensing, political pressure groups, and government policy, as well as phenomena of high generality, such as intellectual orthodoxy, in which coercion is barely visible and often self-imposed. As the editors say in their introduction: "No freedom can be taken for granted, even in the most well-functioning of formal democracies. Exposing the tendencies that undermine freedom of inquiry and their hidden sources and widespread implications is in itself an exercise in and for democracy."

OUR RUNAWAY SOCIETY -How to restore balance in life- 2. OUR RUNAWAY GLOBE -How to restore balance on Earth- 3. OUR RUNAWAY RIGHTS -How to restore balance in freedom- --------------------------------------------- O U R R U N A W A Y R I G H T S - How to restore balance in freedom - Introduction -With some exceptions, people around the world greatly value their freedom to follow their dreams, to capitalize on their free will to act as they wish, to enjoy their privacy and to treasure their sense of security. Here, outlined, we find the false and distorted sense of freedom, privacy and security we now live in. However, education and knowledge enlighten our common sense and provide the power to strengthen our resilience, so necessary for our survival. -In this book, the author spares no efforts and once again, takes no prisoners in the third of his hard-writing trilogy, where he outlines the absolute false and distorted sense of freedom, privacy and security our societies nowadays live in. This is achieved in a factual and sometimes shockingly direct style. Forgotten or Misinterpreted Concepts -Liberty, freedom, safety, security, immigration, terrorism, police force, women's rights, LGTB rights, tolerance and respect (a two-way street), jail-systems, freedom of expression, anti-discrimination, privacy and security among others. Main Goals and Understanding -All our rights and freedoms in North America (and beyond) express the noblest objectives of man to live without distinction of religion, sex, race and language, with special focus on the safeguarding of the peace, privacy and security nationally and internationally. -True knowledge and crystal communication are the pillars of our human rights, and above all, our liberty and freedom to dare, dream, and achieve happiness. Nobody can take away from us "education and knowledge." They enlighten common sense, they break all boundaries, they uncover the unknown, they provide power, and they strengthen human resilience, which is crucial to our survival. -Making progress as a human being is about knowledge, wisdom and attitude changes. Open your heart and expand your awareness with a true desire to engage in pro-active positive measures. Real wisdom comes with knowledge, hard work, dedication, commitment, and the invisible and unstoppable pass of time. -The golden key to liberty, freedom and happiness is knowledge. Embrace it! -Tolerance, fairness and respect should always go both ways!
