There's some blathering about freedom of speech in the UN Declaration of 
Human Rights, but it's vague on where freedom of speech stops. The 
Durham Conference produced a toothless document a few years ago, but 
considering that several notable countries boycotted, it's not really 
worth talking about.

The US has extremely liberal free speech laws--hate speech is actually 
protected free speech here; considering that, e.g., Arab countries have 
attempted to push for making defamation against (read: criticism of) 
religion not-free speech, it's very doubtful that any treaty the US 
would agree to would be tenable to the rest of the world.
