International Human Rights Day is observed every year on December 10 – the day on which the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The freedom to express oneself in speech and writing is one of the basic human rights. In Sweden, this freedom stems from the world’s first constitutionally protected freedom of the press legislation, the Swedish Freedom of the Press Act of 1766.
