    Freedom of expression is a basic human right that allows individuals to seek, receive, and impart information and opinions. It is protected internationally by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. However, freedom of expression must be balanced against maintaining social order and protecting public welfare and morality. There should be limits on free expression only when it involves harming others, such as through hate speech or offensive and derogatory language targeting people's race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Those who face discrimination, such as minorities, often have greater barriers to freedom of expression than the majority, making it harder for them to participate in society and improve their circumstances.

    FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

    GROUP 2
    INTRODUCTION

    Freedom of Expression is a basic human right, It


    refers to right to freedom of expression, including
    the freedom to seek, receive, and impart
    information and opinions of any kind in any form.
    Internationally, freedom of expression is
    protected under the Universal Declaration of
    Human Rights and the International Covenant of
    Civil and Political Rights.
    Used to seek answers and express opinions
    ETHICAL FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
    Freedom of Expression must be balanced against
    society’s need to maintain order, protect general
    welfare and public morality
    There should be limits to free expression, but
    only when it involves harm to others
    People should refrain from hate speech, the
    public use of derogatory and offensive language
    denigrating others, particularly on the basis of
    race, ethnicity, gender and/or sexual orientation
    EXAMPLES
    REFLECTION

    Freedom of expression is a fundamental human


    right. It also underpins most other rights and
    allows them to flourish. The right to speak your
    mind freely on important issues in society, access
    information and hold the powers that be to
    account, plays a vital role in the healthy
    development process of any society.
    The lack of access to freedom of expression is a
    problem that particularly affects the already
    marginalised – that is, minorities facing
    discrimination both in developed and developing
    countries, from LGBT people in African countries, to
    disabled people in Western Europe. While the scale of
    their struggles varies greatly, the principle is the
    same: within the context of their society, these groups
    face greater barriers to freedom of expression than
    the majority. If they are unable to communicate their
    ideas, views, worries and needs effectively, means
    they are often excluded from meaningful
    participation in society, and from the opportunity to
    better their own circumstances. In other words,
    discrimination is one of the core elements of unequal
    access to freedom of expression.
