IFLA Secretary General's Statement on the Mexican copyright reform (2018)

In this statement from 2018, IFLA's Secretary General expresses serious concerns about a Mexican copyright reform that would allow online articles, videos and other works to be removed based solely on alleged infringement. Referring to the Manila Principles, IFLA argues that these measures lack transparency, due process and proportionality, thereby threatening freedom of expression and access to information.

2018年的这份声明中，国际图书馆协会联合会（International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, IFLA）秘书长对墨西哥一项版权改革法案表达了严重关切，该法案将允许仅依据涉嫌侵权的指控，即可移除在线文章、视频及其他作品。该联合会援引《马尼拉原则》（Manila Principles）指出，此类措施缺乏透明度、正当法律程序与比例原则，进而对言论自由及信息获取权构成威胁。
