One of IPA’s two policy pillars is the promotion of the freedom to publish. Freedom to publish is a fundamental subset of freedom of expression, and is a prerequisite for a thriving publishing industry, which is itself an essential part of a democratic society. Freedom of expression is embodied in many international treaties and declarations.

 

The IPA General Assembly elects the 9 members of the Freedom to Publish Committee to conduct the IPA’s work in this area in line with the IPA’s Freedom to Publish Manifesto.
