Express our concern about the consequences these events are having for the right to freedom of expression at the advent of the " electronic century " which is witnessing the growing dominance of forms of communication such as broadcasting and the Internet ; Are aware of the fact that broadcasting remains the most important source of information for most people in the world ; Recognise the growing importance of the Internet , and its potential as a tool to enhance the right to freedom of expression and freedom of information ; Note the importance of regional mechanisms in promoting the right to freedom of expression and the need to promote such mechanisms in every region of the world , including in Africa and Asia ; Recall the World Conference Against Racism , Racial Discrimination , Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban and our Joint Statement on Racism and the Media of 27 February 2001 , which stated : " Promoting an optimal role for the media in the fight against racism , discrimination , xenophobia and intolerance requires a comprehensive approach which includes an appropriate civil , criminal and administrative law framework , and which promotes tolerance , including through education , self - regulation and other positive measures " ; Terror must not triumph over human rights in general , and freedom of expression in particular ; Certain governments have , in the aftermath of the events of 11 September , adopted measures or taken steps to limit freedom of expression and curtail the free flow of information ; this reaction plays into the hands of the terrorists ; Guarantees for freedom of expression have developed over centuries but they can easily be rolled back ; we are particularly concerned that recent moves by some governments to introduce legislation limiting freedom of expression set a bad precedent ; We are of the view that an effective strategy to address terror must include reaffirming and strengthening democratic values , based on the right to freedom of expression ; The events of 11 September have brought in their wake a rise in racism and attacks against Islam ; we call on governments , as well as the media , to do all within their power to combat this dangerous trend ; Promoting diversity should be a primary goal of broadcast regulation ; diversity implies gender equity within broadcasting , as well as equal opportunity for all sections of society to access the airwaves ; Broadcast regulators and governing bodies should be so constituted as to protect them against political and commercial interference ; Effective measures should be adoptedto preventundue concentration of media ownership
