In 2011, Botero wrote an article entitled “Freedom of Expression in the Americas,” which observed that while Latin American military dictatorships had given way, in large part, to democratic governments, a “culture of secrecy” remained in place, as did “restrictive press laws.” It stated that while “the region faces a number of major challenges,” including the protection of journalists, the decriminalization of speech acts, access to information, direct and indirect censorship, and pluralism and diversity in public debate.
