[governance] Joint statement by Special Rapporteurs

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Apologies for mailbombing you on online FX... but it is an important IG
issue! It is clear here at the Human Rights Council in Geneva that it is
also a very new issue for the human rights community.

Freedom House convened an event earlier today with a very good panel..
but not that many attendees.

Here is the link to a good joint statement special rapporteurs working
on freedom of expression and opinion.
