The Declaration of Chapultepec was adopted by the Inter American Press Association at its Hemisphere Conference on Free Speech held in Chapultepec, at Chapultepec Castle, in Mexico City, on 11th March, 1994. It sets out the ten (10) principles which guide and govern freedom of expression and of the press and to which all the governments who observe and practice democracy have committed and signed on to, including the Government of Guyana.
Mr. Christopher ‘Kit’ Nascimento in his letter to the press published on May 17th 2023, has decided to go into his toolkit to tinker with the Guyana Press Association and declare what should or should not obtain.
