This report shows an analysis of the human right to freedom of artistic expression based on monitoring of legal and policy development and individual cases of violations of artistic freedom in Europe over the past two years (January 2018 to October 2019). The report also outlines the international, regional and national instruments that protect freedom of expression, and specifically, artistic freedom to which European states are legally bound. The recommendations listed at the end of this report are directed at relevant international bodies, regional bodies belonging to the European Union, governments and civil society organisations.
