"In 2016, Cartoonists Rights Network International (CRNI) published the extremely helpful “Safety Manual for Political Cartoonists in Trouble”— the only one of its kind to this day. Thanks to the support of the European Union, Cartooning for Peace presents this guide which we hope will expand on the work done by CRNI. In publishing this guide, CFP aspires to help you foresee or respond to a one-off or persistent attack on your work or integrity. We have taken up the support provided by the Global Media Defense Fund, administered by UNESCO , to update this guide. The reasons of the update lie in the increase in threats and censorship through the courts, especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because cartoonists have been seeking more information on what supranational legal protections exist for freedom of expression. In that purpose, Media Defense has produced practical sheets on how freedom of expression is protected in various regions and what institutions are responsible for ensuring its enforcement. These are added in the appendix. While they may be more helpful to the lawyer who is defending you, they can shed some light on the matter that you come up against. We have tried to be exhaustive in this publication; however, this guidebook might not give you the solution to your problem, which may be unique and have several appropriate answers. Nevertheless, it has been written to be a tool that can drive you to the solution matching your need, as well as direct you to those who will be able to help you. And because the world changes quickly, we will carry out frequent updates to avoid this guidebook becoming outdated. The document and the updates will be available on the Cartooning for Peace website." (Caveat, page 7)
