In a world increasingly marked by authoritarian rhetoric, disinformation, and digital surveillance, the right to speak freely is more vital than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freedom of expression is not simply about speaking without fear; it is the cornerstone of any democratic society. It allows individuals to denounce abuse, defend their rights, and engage in public life. Yet, even in countries considered democratic, this freedom is regularly restricted \u2014 often in the name of national security, countering hate speech, or maintaining public order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As host to the United Nations Human Rights Council and numerous international NGOs, Geneva provides a unique arena where freedom of expression is debated on legal, political, and ethical grounds. Journalists under threat find shelter here, human rights defenders raise their voices, and states are held accountable for their obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swiss Agency for Development and Human Rights (ASDHr) is committed to ensuring that Geneva remains a space of dialogue, protection, and advocacy for freedom of expression. We support initiatives that defend whistleblowers, challenge censorship, and promote a culture of respectful and inclusive debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a hyperconnected world where expressing an opinion can lead to persecution or exile, it is urgent to restore freedom of expression to the core of the human rights agenda. Geneva must continue to act as a beacon \u2014 not only through its institutions, but through its citizens, scholars, artists, and activists. Together, let us uphold free speech as a pillar of human dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>_________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 <strong>\u00c0 Gen\u00e8ve, la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression remise au c\u0153ur du combat pour les droits humains<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gen\u00e8ve, souvent per\u00e7ue comme capitale mondiale des droits humains, est \u00e9galement un lieu symbolique o\u00f9 la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression est r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement mise \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve et r\u00e9affirm\u00e9e. Dans un contexte mondial marqu\u00e9 par la mont\u00e9e des discours autoritaires, la d\u00e9sinformation et la surveillance num\u00e9rique, le droit de s\u2019exprimer librement prend une dimension plus que jamais cruciale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression ne consiste pas seulement \u00e0 pouvoir parler sans crainte ; elle constitue la base de toute soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9mocratique. \u00c0 travers elle, les citoyens peuvent d\u00e9noncer les abus, d\u00e9fendre leurs droits et participer activement \u00e0 la vie publique. Pourtant, m\u00eame dans des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme d\u00e9mocratiques, cette libert\u00e9 fait face \u00e0 des restrictions, souvent justifi\u00e9es par la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale, la lutte contre les discours de haine ou la protection de l\u2019ordre public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c0 Gen\u00e8ve, si\u00e8ge du Conseil des droits de l\u2019homme des Nations Unies et de nombreuses ONG internationales, la question de la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression est d\u00e9battue \u00e0 tous les niveaux : juridique, politique et moral. Des journalistes menac\u00e9s y trouvent refuge, des d\u00e9fenseurs des droits humains y \u00e9l\u00e8vent leur voix, et des \u00c9tats y sont rappel\u00e9s \u00e0 leurs engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L\u2019Agence Suisse pour le D\u00e9veloppement et les Droits de l\u2019Homme (ASDHr) s\u2019engage activement pour que Gen\u00e8ve reste un espace de dialogue, de protection et de plaidoyer pour la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression. Nous soutenons les initiatives visant \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les lanceurs d\u2019alerte, \u00e0 renforcer les l\u00e9gislations contre la censure, et \u00e0 promouvoir une culture du d\u00e9bat respectueux et inclusif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans un monde interconnect\u00e9, o\u00f9 une simple opinion peut entra\u00eener la r\u00e9pression ou l\u2019exil, il est imp\u00e9ratif de replacer la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression au c\u0153ur de la d\u00e9fense des droits humains. Gen\u00e8ve doit continuer \u00e0 incarner ce r\u00f4le de phare, non seulement par ses institutions, mais aussi par ses citoyens, ses chercheurs, ses artistes et ses militants.
