UNESCO encourages and assists Member States in designing and adapting their media, information and communication laws in accordance with internationally-recognised democratic standards and principles of freedom of expression.
In cooperation with professional media organizations, academic and legal experts as well as other international and regional organizations, UNESCO is ready to respond to requests from governments and national authorities by providing expert missions, technical and logistical assistance or through the organisation of meetings and other events dealing with these subjects and their importance as basic elements of any democratic society.
