Human Rights Reporting in South-Eastern Europe

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination.

International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.

The IFJ works to protect the human rights of its members and the communities they serve and to help journalists and media improve coverage of human rights issues.

Migrant Narratives

Now more than ever, the role of the media in shaping public perception on migration is critical. The ILO and IFJ have joined forces to promote the best practices when reporting on labour migration, providing tools, resources, forums and practical tips for journalists covering migrant stories.
