With the increase in cases of attacks on journalists in the Arab world in general and the occupied State of Palestine in particular. Is there a glimmer of hope to legislate binding international rules that limit the violation of the sanctity of journalists and not prevent them from exercising their role by revealing the facts and communicating information to the international community about any violations of human rights law?
With the presence of international and non-international organizations concerned with the rights of journalists, but they still record cases of violations against journalists, and we should not forget what the Israeli forces have done in the cold-blooded killing of journalist Shireen Abu Aqila, a journalist affiliated with one of the well-known news stations. We regret that the texts related to the protection of journalists are ineffective and do not impose penalties for those who violate these scattered texts in international charters and laws. And with the presence of Reporters Without Borders and the International Federation of Journalists in addition to regional and international organizations. However, silencing is still the norm. We hope to legislate an international convention to protect journalists and be binding on all countries, even if they do not ratify it..
The only soruce of such violations is another human. As we cannot isolate all journalists from all other humans, we can try to use RC drones instead of
As long as men interact with one another, there will be violations or infringements of human rights. It doesn't matter how strict the regulation is, there will always be violations. Human rights abuses could be reduced, and an efficient system put in place to hold perpetrators accountable, both as a deterrent and to provide some relief for the weak and disadvantaged.
I fear that even an international convention to protect journalists will change little. Do you seriously believe the IDF will abide by such a convention in case of doubt, it would not have prevented the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Aqila. I suspect that the PA will not be deterred from muzzling critical journalists either. But there is a German saying: Hope dies last.
All may not agree but this is real, rather we accept it or not, but as long one another see persons as a problem, load, setbacks and criminals, because of the colour of their skin, their hair texture, economic status and education background it would be difficult to stop human rights violations. If people see others as humans and not animals and put themselves in other persons shoes; then we might we on our way to curbing such violations against others.
