Rule Broken: Contradiction
Clause in Question:
Freedom Of Opinion And Belief wrote:c. requires members to permit the holding and expression of facts, however inconvenient, by their inhabitants,
Argument: The clause would force member states to allow free expression of any facts. This would mean that laws to restrict the access to factual content would be not allowed by this clause. However, GA#330: Nuclear Testing Protocol, provides just 1 example of why this cannot be done:
GA330 wrote:7. Further demands that member nations classify all information and materials related to nuclear testing as state secrets and prevent this information or material with anyone not authorized to have access to this information,
Emphasis mine. Information related to nuclear testing is likely to be classified as facts. By GA330, these information cannot be freely shared with unauthorized personnel. The clause in Freedom Of Opinion And Belief clearly contradicts this law, unless GA330 could be broadly interpreted to mean that everyone, by default, is authorized to have access to this information. Which doesn't seem to make sense.
