Origin - 2017 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 9 with the following paragraph:

"The Assembly also notes that media freedom in accordance with Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights poses a particular challenge in conflict zones. The Assembly is convinced that there should be no grey areas in Europe for the application of the European Convention on Human Rights. Consequently, the Assembly pays special tribute to the few investigative journalists who dare to shed light on the situations prevailing in these areas."
