I am definitely sceptical as to the idea of the Right to Communicate as a new human right. Such was my opinion in 1975 when I was invited to a discussion by Edward Ploman, and it has remained the same, although a lot has changed in this respect.

If I were to identify the source of my scepticism, it would boil down to the fear of introducing a single global legal principle which homogeneously normalises a very complicated sphere of human relationships. Such dealings involve double danger: either the law will not be respected or the human relationships will suffer.
