"Of crucial importance" or "of a crucial importance"

Are both "of crucial importance" and "of a crucial importance" correct? If yes, what's the difference in use, if there's any? The example I'm having in mind would be "Protecting human rights is of (a) crucial importance." or "Ensuring the freedom of expression is of (a) crucial importance."

Anonymous Are both "of crucial importance" and "of a crucial importance" correct? The second sounds very odd; I don't think I've ever seen it. In your example, it just seems wrong.
