UN appoints Frank La Rue as Freedom of Expression Rapporteur
30 June 2008 -
After some last-minute consultation, a very angry-looking Egyptian and a statement by Uruguay strongly supporting his candicacy, Frank La Rue was elected as the new UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Opinion and Expression. Hivos believes this is a good choice. La Rue is a strong believer in human rights and freedom of expression and he will have the wherewithal to interpret his new mandate wisely.
