Implementing Freedom of Expression: A Checklist for the Implementation of the Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression
ARTICLE 19 has published a checklist designed for civil society organisations who wish to conduct analyses of the implementation status of the African Union's Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression in Africa. The checklist intends to allow civil society organisations working on issues relating to freedom of expression and access to information to establish the key obstacles to the fulfilment and protection of freedom of expression. According to the publishers, the checklist interprets each article of the Declaration in a comprehensive manner, providing details on how freedom of expression should be fulfilled and provided for. The checklist can be used for researching and writing "shadow reports" to be submitted to the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.
