All people have the right to acquire information and skills necessary to participate fully in public deliberation and communication. They must have safe, unrestricted access to sources of information, and must be able to seek remedy, when required, through an international body. Individuals concerned should have an opportunity to correct, without undue delay, statements relating to them which they have a justified interest in having corrected. Such corrections should be given the same prominence as the original expression. States should impose penalties for proven damage, or require corrections, where a court of law has determined that an information provider has wilfully disseminated inaccurate or isleading and damaging information, or has facilitated the dissemination of such information.
All people have the right to protect their cultural identity.
This includes the respect for people's pursuit of their cultural development and the right to free expression in languages they understand. People' s right to the protection of their cultural space and heritage should not violate other human rights or provisions of this Charter. All people have the right to a diversity of languages. This includes the right to express themselves and have access to information in their own language, the right to use their own languages in educational institutions funded by the state, and the right to have adequate provisions created for the use of minority languages where needed. They should be protected from harmful media products and from commercial and other exploitation at home, in school and at places of play, work, or business.
