The
Blue Ribbon Campaign
Electronic Frontier Canada and other online civil liberty organizations around
the world ask that a Blue Ribbon be worn or displayed to show support for the
essential human right of freedom of expression, a fundamental and essential right
in any free and democratic society.
This right is protected by law, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms (section 2), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 19),
and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (article 19).
The Blue Ribbon is an important way to raise awareness of online censorship
and freedom issues, from locally to globally. Read
