Within states’ internal contexts, regulation of the communication rights arising from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) has been developing via a gradual process of progress and setbacks that is shaped by each country’s historical and political vicissitudes. However, and despite the undeniable theoretical and philosophical reflection on the right of any person to communicate his or her ideas (a pioneer here was the Salamanca school led by Francisco de Vitoria, who formulated the idea of ius communicationis [Desantes Guanter 1989]), the shaping of the international legal order as a relational system whose subjects are states prevented any initiative to recognize communication rights in a universal, or even regional, way.
