Article 19 (freedom of
expression)
1. Everyone shall have the
right to hold opinions without interference.
2. Everyone shall have the
right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom
to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds,
regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print,
in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.
3. The exercise of the rights
provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it
special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject
to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are
provided by law and are necessary:
(a) For respect of the rights
or reputations of others;
(b) For the protection of national security or of public order
(ordre public), or of public health or morals.
