Bien à vous, Charles Girard et Pierre Auriel *** *Freedom of Expression and Democracy in Europe* *20-21 April 2022* International Conference Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University Lyon Institute for Philosophical Research (IRPhiL) EGALIBEX Research Program (ANR JCJC 2018) *Liberté d’expression *Research Program (COMOD) *The conference will take place exclusively online.* *Registration: **[email protected]* <[email protected]> *More information: **https://egalibex.univ-lyon3.fr* <https://egalibex.univ-lyon3.fr> *The digital revolution and the ongoing upheaval of the public sphere confront liberal democracies with an urgent challenge: how to legally regulate freedom of expression to preserve the possibility of democratic debate? In order to design new regulatory frameworks for new political forums, such as social networks, it is important to understand the link between the right to freedom of expression and the political practice of democratic debate. * *What are the actors, the forums, and the discourses that make up public deliberation and how can their free expression be protected? What rights does freedom of expression include, if it is understood as a political freedom, whose function is to allow participation in public debate? What limits can be imposed on this freedom to ensure access to information, equality of opportunity or pluralism of opinion? What mechanisms can protect citizens against public and private forms of censorship that threaten collective deliberation? These questions have been widely discussed in the US context, within the perimeter of the First Amendment. But they have not received the same attention in Europe, where freedom of expression, democracy and their relationship are conceived in a distinct way. * *This conference brings together European specialists of freedom of expression – legal scholars and philosophers – from a variety of countries, as well as judges from the most influential courts on the continent, such as the European Court of Human Rights and the German Constitutional Court. It also features renowned scholars of free speech, in particular specialists on the American First Amendment, to provide a critical reflection on the European approach as seen from outside Europe. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of the European understanding of freedom of expression as a democratic right, and of its actual and potential implications for the legal regulation of public communication in the current communications environment.* *Wednesday* *20 April 2022* 14:00-14:30 - *Introduction* *Pierre **Auriel* & *Charles **Girard**, *Lyon 3 University 14:30-16:00 - *Panel 1:* *The guarantees of Freedom of expression* *Expression (as in “Freedom of expression”)* *Christoph **Bezemek*, University of Graz *Freedom of expression, proportionality, and the margin of appreciation* *George **Letsas*, University College of London *Critical discussion* *Alon **Harel*, Hebrew University of Jerusalem *Break* 16:30-18:30 - *Panel 2: The structure of public debate * *The arenas of public debate: various dimensions of fundamental rights’ protection reflecting different challenges to freedom of expression * *Johannes **Masing*, Albert-Ludwigs-University of Fribourg, former Justice of the German Federal Constitutional Court *Les questions d’intérêt général dans la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme* *Patrick **Wachsmann*, University of Strasbourg *What freedom of expression for the agents of public debate in Europe?* *Orsolya **Salat*, ELTE University *Critical discussion* *Helen **Norton*, University of Colorado *Thursday 21 Avril* 10:30-12:00 - *Panel 3:* *The dimensions of freedom of expression* *The “active” profile of freedom of expression: a comparative overview of the European understanding* *Marco **Bassini & **Oreste **Pollicino* Bocconi University *A critique of audience rights to receive information and ideas under a democratic interpretation of freedom of expression: the stance of the Strasbourg Court* *Helen **Fenwick*, Durham University *Critical discussion* *Adrienne **Stone*, University of Melbourne *Break* 13:00-15:00 - *Panel 4: The standards of public debate* *Securing an informed public: free speech and the challenges of misinformation* *Jacob **Rowbottom*, University of Oxford *Equality of access and equality of participation: the lodestars or unreachable stars of public debate?* *Tarlach **Mcgonagle*, University of Amsterdam *Sustained plural public speech: positive obligations, freedom of speech, and the European Court of Human Rights* *Andrew T. **Kenyon*, University of Melbourne *Critical discussion* *Martha **Minow*, Harvard University *Break* 15:30-18:30 - Panel 5: *Freedom of expression and democracy in European legal thought* *Freedom of expression and public debate according to the European Court of Human Rights case law (1959-2020): History of a Relationship* *Françoise **Tulkens,* Catholic University of Leuven, former Vice-President of the European Court of Human Rights *(to be confirmed*) *Freedom of expression and democracy in European continental law* *Dieter **Grimm*, Humboldt University of Berlin, former Judge of the Federal Constitutional Court *Freedom of expression in the common law: its role in promoting public debate* *Eric **Barendt*, University College of London *Freedom of expression versus populist tendencies in post-communist states after the 1989 transitions* *Aleksandra **Gliszczyńska–Grabias*, Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences *Freedom of expression in the service of the common good in Northern Europe* *Eva-Maria **Svensson*, University of Gothenburg *Critical discussion* *Mark **Tushnet*, Harvard University 18:30 – End of the conference -- *Charles Girard* *----------------------------------------------------* *Maître de conférences* *Responsable de la double licence Droit-Philosophie* *Responsable du M2 Philosophie politique et juridique* *Faculté de Philosophie* *Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3* Adresse géographique : Palais de l'université, 15 Quai Claude Bernard, Lyon 7 Adresse postale : Faculté de philosophie, 1C avenue des Frères Lumière, CS 78242 - 69372 Lyon Cedex 08 Email : [email protected] / site : www.charlesgirard.fr *----------------------------------------------------* *www.facdephilo.univ-lyon3.fr* <http://www.facdephilo.univ-lyon3.fr/on3.fr> *L'Université Jean Moulin est membre fondateur de l'Université de Lyon* -- No attachments (even text) are allowed -- -- Type: application/pdf -- File: 2022-04-20 Freedom of Expression and Democracy in Europe.pdf -- https://www.vidal-rosset.net/mailing_list_educasupphilo.html
