Protection of journalists and press freedom 2010, para. 54
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Various stakeholders have addressed the issue of the protection of journalists in armed conflict, including United Nations bodies and civil society organizations. On 23 December 2006, the Security Council adopted a landmark resolution on the protection of journalists in armed conflict (resolution 1738 (2006)), in which it expressed its deep concern regarding the frequency of deliberate attacks against journalists, media professionals and associated personnel in armed conflict, in violation of international humanitarian law, and called upon all parties to an armed conflict to put an end to such practices. It also emphasized the responsibility of States, as well as their obligation to end impunity and to prosecute those responsible for serious violations. In accordance with the request made by the Security Council through that resolution, the Secretary-General has included a section on the protection of journalists in armed conflict in his reports on the protection of civilians in armed conflict.
