Can the United Nations protect human rights?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

France has been hit by a wave of street protests after the government introduced a security bill in parliament that set out to increase its surveillance tools and restrict rights on circulating images of police officers in the media and online. (See CPNN November 29<\/a> and November 23<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In a recent U-turn, French President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s ruling party said it would rewrite the article that curbs rights to circulate images of police officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law has to be discussed by the French people,\u201d Bachelet told a Geneva news conference. \u201cBut it\u2019s the Article 24, the one we are really concerned about. And that\u2019s why we are mentioning that should be reviewed and should be, I guess, withdrawn\u201d.<\/p>\n
