Both resolutions call for more education in ethics, self-defense, and cite rules for journalists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first resolution encourages nations to hold the press accountable for their actions by tightening the requirements for credentials of journalists and taking actions against journalists who knowingly spread false information. In addition, a multinational task-force has been recommended to act as a \u201cwatchdog\u201d to ensure that governments are not restricting the rights of journalists. The second resolution brings into effect a multinational advisory committee that creates a helpline for journalists in danger and advises journalists on the proper ethics of sourcing. Lastly, the second resolution calls upon increasing penalties for those who commit crimes against journalists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The assembly\u2019s hope is that these resolutions protect both journalists and the sovereignty of its members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of SHUMUN XX, reporter Alyssa Tolentino covers the General Assembly within the UNESCO Committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4217,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1646],"tags":[1193,1648,1652],"class_list":["post-7616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shumun","tag-unesco","tag-shumun-xx","tag-update"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
