Alfred de Zayas' Human Rights Corner
This blog is devoted to legal, historical and human rights matters, in which issues of general concern are addressed freely and spontaneously. It is intended to further an informal exchange of views in the democratic spirit of freedom of opinion and respect for the opinions of others, in an effort to understand rather than condemn, to propose constructive solutions rather than grandstand. The perspective is both from inside and outside the box and the added value lies more in the questions than in the answers.
There are many good quotations on freedom of opinion and expression
let me share a good one from a wise Canadian
“Freedom includes the right to say
what others may object to and resent…
The essence of citizenship is to be tolerant
of strong and provocative words.”
— John G. Diefenbaker
(1895-1979) Prime Minister of Canada
