Are laws in any country universally recognized and respected?

Common sense would say before you go claim libel you first demand correction, or place onus on publisher to correct a publication with the new developed news.

I know it became normal to police speech nowadays but if a conviction - even before appeal - doesnt allow the use of a label/word, what does?

Now, being CNBC reporting this i guess the issue is less about risk of libel and more to do with the current stance that europe is out to get american companies
