The UN "Committee on Information" starts its annual meeting today. Here's what they do according to their own website: "promote the establishment of a new, more just and more effective world information and communication order intended to strengthen peace and international understanding and based on the free circulation and wider and better-balanced dissemination of information and to make recommendations thereon to the General Assembly." Translation: undermine free speech, because the non-democratic majority at the United Nations will determine what counts as a "just world information order" and "better-balanced" dissemination. Members of the Committee on Information include disinformation expert, Iran.
