Protection of journalists and press freedom 2010, para. 23
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In addition, the Special Rapporteur emphasizes the importance for journalists to be alert to the danger of discrimination being furthered by the media, and to do the utmost to avoid facilitating such discrimination based on, inter alia, race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur notes that, in accordance with international human rights law, any expression of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence should be prohibited, as should the dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority or hatred. Moreover, the Special Rapporteur encourages journalists to promote, through their work, a deeper understanding of racial, cultural and religious diversity, and to contribute to developing better intercultural relationships.
