Article 19 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights
ARTICLE 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948)
“A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, an ubiquitous press, must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know,” Judge Gurfein declared. “These are troubled times. There is no greater safety valve for discontent and cynicism about the affairs of government than freedom of expression in any form.” (Excerpt from a New York Times editorial of June 20, 1971, in The Pentagon Papers, 1971, p. 645)
