I have a few busy weeks with conferences, and here is the schedule and topics if anyone is interested:<\/p>\n
I was first in Istanbul, Turkey for the 6th Gathering in Istanbul for Freedom of Expression<\/a> which took place between 22-24 May, 2009 (see the media coverage<\/a>). My speech for the conference was entitled Racist content, hate speech, and discrimination on the Internet: Implications for freedom of expression<\/em>. I also chaired two panels on the second day of the conference.<\/p>\n Next stop for me is Reykjavik, Iceland. I am invited speaker for the Council of Europe organized Forum on Anti-terrorism legislation and its impact on freedom of expression and information<\/a> which will take place on Wednesday, 27 May, 2009. The aim of the forum will be to exchange experiences on the impact of anti-terrorism legislation and its implementation on freedom of expression and information in Europe. My paper for the conference is entitled To Block or Not to Block: European Approaches to Terrorist Use of the Internet, and Implications for Freedom of Expression and Information<\/em>. While in Reykjavik I shall also attend the 1st Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Media and New Communication Services<\/a> as an observer. This conference will take place between 28-29 May, 2009.<\/p>\n I will then travel to Bonn, Germany between 02-05 June, 2009 for the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum: Conflict Prevention in the Multimedia Age<\/a>. I am speaking at a panel entitled “Suppressed websites \u2013 will censors lose the race?<\/a>,” organized by the Committee to Protect Journalists<\/a>. The panel will take place on Friday, 05 June, 2009.
