Mass media - Moral and ethical aspects
| | Class number: | 323.44 | | Abstract: | Freedom of the media and freedom of expression are two fundamental rights which are essential for free and pluralistic democracy. There are numer¬ous OSCE commitments ensuring the individual's freedom of expression and freedom of information, and the freedom of the media. The strategic assumption of these commitments is to place the media into the custody of society rather than in the custody of the State, where they have been in most countries before democratization. Therefore I commend the work and activities of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Miklos Haraszti. In 2005, I co-operated closely with Professor Haraszti and his Office on many projects, including the Inter¬net Conference, the media conferences held in Central Asia and the Cauca¬sus, legal reviews, freedom of the media and hate speech, decriminalization of libel, silent diplomacy demarches defending individual cases, etc. At the beginning of 2005, the Office presented a matrix on libel and insult laws. Decriminalization of libel, by making its handling civil-law based, was promoted throughout 2005 in order to reduce the level of misuse of criminal law against journalists or even their detention for political reasons in the OSCE region. Special attention was given also to the issue of access to public information, which in many cases is guaranteed by the Constitution. In practice, citizens are often deprived of obtaining public information due to official and state secrets. | | Contents note: | Christian Möller: Internet Governance; Vera Hanus: Addressing Issues of Media Freedom in the South Caucasus; Media Voices Speak Out about Pluralism in the Media and the Internet in Central Asia; Media Voices Speak Out about Public Service Broadcasting and the Internet in the South Caucasus; Mandate of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media; Reports and Statements to the OSCE Permanent Council and other OSCE Fora; « Statement by the Representative on Freedom of the Media at the Fourth Winter Meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Vienna on 25 February 2005; Regular Report to the Permanent Council of 10 March 2005; Visit to Belarus: Observations and Recommendations, 10 March 2005; Assessment Visit to the Transdniestrian Region of the Republic of Moldova : Observations and Recommendations, 10 March 2005; Visit to Italy: The Gasparri La w: Observations and Recommendations, 7 June 2005; Coverage of the Events and Governmental Handling of the Press During the Andijan Crisis in Uzbekistan : Observations and Recommendations, 15 June 2005; Regular Report to the Permanent Council of 14 July 2005; Review of the Draft Turkish Penal Code: Freedom of Media Concerns, May 2005; Assessment Visit to Azerbaijan : Observations and Recommendations, 14 July 2005; Speech for Miklos Haraszti at the Opening Session of the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw on 19 September 2005; The State of Media Freedom in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedoni a: Observations and Recommendations, 9 December 2005; Regular Report to the Permanent Council of 15 December 2005; Declarations and Projects; Joint Statement by the Special Rapporteur of the Commission of Human Rights on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opin¬ion and expression, the Special Rapporteur for freedom of expression of the Organization of American States, the Representative on Freedom of the Media of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights On the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day, 3 May 2005; joint Declaration by the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Opinion and Expression, the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and the OAS Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression International Mechanisms for Promoting Freedom of Expression, 21 December 2005; Third Internet Conference of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, 17-18 June 2005, Amsterdam Joint Declaration of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media & Reporters Sans Frontieres on Guaranteeing Media Freedom on the Internet; Seventh Central Asian Media Conference 13-14 October 2005, Almaty Almaty Declaration on Pluralism in the Media and the Internet; Second South Caucasus Media Conference 17-18 November 2005, Tbilisi Tbilisi Declaration on Public Service Broadcasting and the Internet; Legal Assistance in 2005; Campaign against Criminal Libel Laws and Disproportionate Civil Damages; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14215 |
