Furthermore, we urge you to use the authority of your office to reform Ecuador's archaic defamation laws, which are incompatible with international standards of freedom of expression and rulings by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.https://cpj.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/cpj-logo.png24001260
