Many countries have recognized free speech as a right through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is much broader than the 1st amendment. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human... But just because governments have recognized the right does not mean that they are complying with this recognition. This is par for the course though. The 1st amendment was ratified in 1791 and the Alien and Sedition Acts which violated the constitution in the most blatant way were passed 8 years later. https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/alien-and-sedition-acts https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/alien-and-sedit... Governments never give freedom. People take it.
