Protección y monitoreo International Freedom of Expression Exchange, IFEX

IFEX was created in 1992 in Montréal, Canada when a dozen leading free expression organisations came together to create a coordinated mechanism to rapidly expose free expression violations around the world. Today, IFEX numbers more than 80 independent organisations worldwide and is internationally recognised as a highly credible and effective global network.

By participating in the IFEX global network of action and information-sharing, members gain influence, leverage and authority. IFEX is in a position to bring real change to a global situation where more than half of the world’s nations violate the principles of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The IFEX Clearing House, based in Toronto, Canada, runs the day to day operations of the network and is managed by founding member organisation Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE). 

During the IFEX general assembly on June 2009, the new council, which is composed of 13 members, was elected. The Foundation for the Freedom of the Press, FLIP was chosen to make part of the Council of this international network working for the defense of freedom of expression in the world.
