A/HRC/43/9 55. The conference had provided food for thought and projects aimed at raising awareness of the need for free, high-quality information. One of the initiatives conceived during the conference was a project to include media literacy in the curriculum at all levels of compulsory schooling in San Marino. 56. That and other initiatives taken by San Marino in the field of combating misinformation were being presented by a delegation from San Marino that was attending the World Forum for Democracy, being held from 6 to 8 November in Strasbourg, France. The aim was to examine the issue and shed light on a problem that, although not new, had become more topical than ever owing to the exponential spread of social media over the past decade. B.
