Dear all,

Committee's "Charter for a Free Press" into Russian; both the English

The Free Press Charter incorporates ten nonbinding provisions
approved by journalists from 34 countries at a London conference
convened by the World Press Freedom Committee in 1987 and has been
endorsed by world leaders, including United Nations Secretaries
General Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Kofi Annan and UNESCO Directors
General Federico Mayor and Koichiro Matsuura and by U.S. President
Bill Clinton.
The World Press Freedom Committee, a coordination group of national
and international news media bodies with 44 free-press organizations
on six continents, is dedicated to the protection and promotion of
press freedom around the world. (www.wpfc.org)
Best,
