A webinar presented by the IBA Rule of Law Forum, supported by the IBA Access to Justice Committee and the IBA Human Rights Law Committee
Media outlets around the world are currently facing a multitude of threats. This webinar, led by the IBA Rule of Law Forum, with support from the IBA Access to Justice Committee and the IBA Human Rights Law Committee, will address these threats and how these are affecting the protection of the rule of law in those states. Using real life examples, the speakers will cover how media freedoms are being eroded in certain states and the effect of this erosion on the protection of individual rights.
This webinar will further address the ways in which lawyers can act to protect journalists as part of their important role in defending the rule of law by uncovering wrongdoing and abuses of power.
