necessity to protect the rights of minorities the right of different groups and so on and so forth and on the case by case analysis both the human rights committee on the european court of human rights do assess whether the limitation of the speech or the prehibition of the speech was inconformity with the iccp or the european convention of human rights, but there are so another type of discourse totally prohibited by international law. it's the for instance as you mentioned genocide dinners holocaust discourse and so on and so forth and in this case, it's not only a limitation of freedom of speech but both in the european convention and in the iccpr, there is a provision dealing with abuse of rights. and when someone for instance makes a discourse denying the holocaust for the international buddies. it is considered as an abusive rights. so it means that the person does not write does not have the right anymore to use the freedom of speech and to claim the violation of is or her freedom of speech. so the there are also many interesting decisions for instance against france for his own against france for his noise. he's unfortunately, i would say a very famous person

of course, there are also very important decisions from the french say constitutional so the french constitutional court also the case law of the european court of human rights, but i would say from a general point of view the statute of freedom of speech and the scope the very white scope of the freedom of speech is very different in french in france compared to to the us and relation to what just have been. state for instance in order to limit the freedom of speech or the press freedom. the requirement is not as high as the imminent violence requirement or the danger requirements actually the french approach to freedom of speech is really more balanced. i would say and we will develop this point maybe later but actually journalists media etc of course are understood as a key element of a democratic society and i said they have their protected but in the meantime, they have duties and responsibilities. and for instance, i would just give two example of limitations apology of terrorism a journalist cannot for instance publish cartoons jokes etc on terrorism, and we have different legislation applicable in france to this kind of apology of terrorism and it's
