08.02.2005 The CRIS Campaign released a statement to the Social Assemblies of the World Social Forum putting the spotlight on communication rights violations in Tunisia, the host country for the 2005 World Summit on the Information society. The statement also lays out CRIS' support for proposals at UNESCO for a strong international convention to promote and defend cultural diversity - a step which could provide a legislative defence for nations contesting damaging international free trade agreements.
