  • The Freedom of the Press Ordinance designated as a World Heritage Site

    The Swedish Press Freedom Ordinance is designated as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, TT reports.

    The regulation is the oldest law in the world that stipulates the right to express oneself freely and to take part in public documents.

    The Freedom of the Press Ordinance was adopted in 1766 and the source material is preserved today at the National Archives and the Royal Library in Stockholm.

    “The importance of the freedom of the press regulation can be seen in the light of the fact that Sweden is today recognized around the world for its support for democracy and civil liberties. The award sheds light on one of the most fundamental human rights in the world,” says National Archivist Karin Åström Iko and National Librarian Karin Grönvall in a joint statement.

    Since 1949, the Freedom of the Press Ordinance has also been the constitution of Sweden.

    Hi Anna!

    The last I read about him was in The Wermlands newspaper in November.

    Then he would buy a new car after living in the old one for two weeks. He then said that he intended to lift the broken car into the air and leave it at the scene.
