word order in the second part of the sentence

[Klpno]

Hello everyone

I'd like to ask if the word order is correct in the second part of the following sentence:

In international law, this issue is well thought out and it is considered that more and not less criticism should be against representatives of the authorities.

The context is as follows:

Criminal prosecution for insulting the President and especially accusatory sentences on these cases are recorded from year to year. Despite their insignificant number, these accusatory sentences created a situation when public criticism of activities of top-ranking state officials is de facto considered “forbidden topic”. This is another argument in favor that under no circumstances should any defamation clauses provide special remedies to protect representatives of the authorities, regardless of their rank or position. In international law, this issue is well thought out and it is considered that more and not less criticism should be against representatives of the authorities.

...more and not less criticism should be leveled against representatives of the authorities.

There are other problems with the passage.

Thank you very much, Mister Micawber.

I reread the passage and think that possible problems can be with the following phrases:

1. is de facto considered “forbidden topic”. It should be "is de facto considered a “forbidden topic"".

2. This is another argument in favor that under... Should it be "This is another argument in favor of the fact/view that under.."?

Did you mean those phrases, Mister Micawber?

well, i guess there some redundency in that sentence. When u say " more criticism" it implicitly means that it's not "Less" .So, there is no need to mention it.

'More and not less' suggests that in fact there has been less or agitation for less. If that is what you intend, then you should retain the phrase.
