| Title | Freedom of Expression during Emergency Situations: the Georgian and Israeli Contexts |
| Summary | The aim of the thesis is to find out to what extent the existing framework accommodates and sets the sufficient safeguards for freedom of expression during an emergency situation. What is the role of the judiciary - status quo and how should it be arranged? What can be the possible solutions for the revealed problems? These are the main issues to be addressed by the thesis. By presenting the Georgian and Israeli case studies, the thesis will argue that some governments are inclined to use emergency powers without balancing security needs against the right to freedom of expression. At the end the thesis concludes that there is the lack of standards accommodating freedom of expression during an emergency situation and it also shows the specific problems with the practice. Apart from identification of the problems, solutions addressing them are also sought. The events taking place in Georgia on 7 November 2007 served as an incentive for selecting the topic and thus aimed at finding the solutions for this particular case. Nevertheless, the findings elaborated in this thesis could be relevant in general, for other cases as well. |
