That's US law, in the US truth is a sufficient argument against libel. This is the UN charter. Do you know of any other documentation that outlines article 12 in more detail? I'm coming up empty.

Well, the UN charter dates from 1948. Those were heady days. I'm sure that there's much commentary. The legacy in the EU Right to Be Forgotten is clear. And more generally, in EU enforcement of privacy rights vs corporations.

The UN charter does not apply in Europe, instead it's the 1950's council of Europe "European convention on Human Rights"[1] that applies.
