"The prospect of a new Libyan constitution offers an opportunity for consolidated, clear and robust legal protections for freedom of expression.

The failure of the Constitutional Draft to adhere to international minimum standards, let alone seek to ensure best practices, means that it may ultimately further weaken human rights, including freedom of expression."
