ABSTRACT

This question requires a critical approach to the case law of the Court of Human Rights on Art 10 and also a sense of how the principles developed by the Court may be significant for aspects of the law in the UK. It also requires an understanding of a number of issues in relation to which political expression can legitimately be curtailed and of the general approach the Court of Human Rights has adopted to such issues. There is no definitive list and any answer is bound to be selective.
