Article 10
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.
