Arabic term or phrase: حماية
لا يوفر الدستور البحريني سوى حماية محدودة لحرية التعبير عن الرأي

How to translate the term 'himaayah' in this context? Protection seems a bit generic. I think there is a specialist term for 'himaayah' to be used in this particular context.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
