Media Freedom Internet Cookbook, The

This "cookbook", published by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), contains background information and recommendations aimed at preserving freedom of the internet. The book is compiled with the premise that "media freedom is valuable for the democracies of the OSCE community, and that it should be preserved." It is called a cookbook by the authors because they seek to offer "recipes" for preserving internet freedom.

The book is intended as a representation of the results of the 2nd Amsterdam Internet Conference, attended by delegates of the OSCE, the Council of Europe, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), academia, private industry and the non-governmental sector. It provides both a collection of recommendations and a series of background papers on each of the following subjects:
