The Defence Handbook for Journalists and Bloggers was produced at the request of Reporters Without Borders through TrustLaw in partnership with Paul Hastings LLP. The Handbook is for the thousands of journalists, lawyers and NGOs around the world who seek guidance on the international legal framework that protects the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of information. It covers important questions faced by international and regional bodies and courts, such as the extent to which journalists can criticize public figures; the release of state secrets; and the legality of blasphemy laws.
