The legal analysis of the draft law “On Changes to Some Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Countering Threats to National Security in the Information Sphere” was commissioned by the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of Media and carried out by Dr. Joan Barata Mir, independent media freedom expert from Spain. The analysis notes some problematic areas in the draft law with regard to freedom of expression, such as a lack of judiciary oversight and due process regarding decisions affecting access to and dissemination of content, and offers a number of recommendations that would ensure compliance of the legislation with the OSCE commitments and international standards.
