一位中國來的朋友， 要參加UN的招聘考試， 我幫她找了些國際法的書籍材料。 順便重新讀了讀“聯合國公民和政治權利國際公約”，那些熟悉的文字和今天的現實， 特別是中國的現實還有很多相關意義。
protection of privacy; freedom of expression; freedom of thoughts, consience and religion; prohinition of war propaganda; prohibition of religions hatred; etc.
不僅如此，這些原則對於判斷我們自己是不是一個文明網民， 在行使自己自由權力的時候，有沒有損害他人權利，也很有幫助， 故貼出來供大家參考。
這個公約是聯合國成員們1966年製定的， 主要體現了西方文明的結晶，1978年生效。 中國政府已在1998年簽定了這個國際條約， 這表明， 這些國際通行的原則也得到了中國政府的認可， 類似的大原則在中國的憲法和其他法律中也可以見到。
