Globally Managing American Speech?
by Kenneth Anderson https://www.legal-project.org/484/globally-managing-american-speech Excerpt: I read with great interest Eugene's post below on the Obama administration, free speech, and human rights. As it happens, I'm trying to finish up a manuscript on the UN and "values" at this very moment, and so alas don't have time to comment more than a few paragraphs about this. Here are a couple of observations that I don't propose to defend here; I throw them out unsupported, and I'll try to go back and add something else later. Many of them are about the intellectual community of international law, which I take as relevant here in part because Eugene is trying to sort out what various international law experts say is or is not the import of the free speech drafts in the UN Human Rights Council; I think it matters to have a sense, even if it's just my personal and idiosyncratic one, of the baseline of international law experts. (I don't promise that I have re-read this closely despite some aggressive characterizations here; I'm simply out of time.)

Geert Wilders Lauds Legal Project "Last June, I was acquitted of all charges by an Amsterdam court. The Middle East Forum's Legal Project ... was always there to help, advise and assist ... The importance of the MEF's Legal Project in reclaiming free expression and political discourse ... cannot be overestimated." — Geert Wilders, September 29, 2011 |
