About the Conference

Columbia Global Freedom of Expression was established in 2014, bringing together international experts and activists to survey, document, and strengthen free expression. To achieve its mission of protecting the free flow of information and expression online, the Global Freedom of Expression produces and commissions research and policy projects, as well as organizes events and conferences.

The Justice for Free Expression annual conference was launched in 2015, gathering leading experts from international organizations, courts, civil society, business, and academia. In the Justice for Free Expression in 2014 event, the I&J Project’s Bertrand de La Chapelle participated in a session titled “The ‘right to be forgotten’ and other legal developments—Are courts around the world reinventing on-line regulation?” More information on that event can be found here.
