Implementing Freedom of Expression A
Checklist for the Implementation of the
Declaration of Principles on Freedom of
Expression in Africa
Article 19 (2006)
This checklist has been specifically designed for
civil society organizations in Africa and elsewhere
who wish to conduct a thorough analysis of
the implementation status of the Declaration
of Principles on Freedom of Expression in any
African country. The checklist allows civil society
organizations working on issues relating to freedom
of expression and access to information to establish
the deficiencies in terms of concrete provisions
for the fulfilment and protection of freedom of
expression. For this reason some of the questions
cover areas broader than the issue of freedom of
expression itself. The checklist interprets each article
of the Declaration in a comprehensive manner,
providing substantial details on how freedom of
expression should be fulfilled and provided for.
