It underlined that the policy of extending the detention of journalists is a serious violation of human rights principles, especially Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and constitutes a violation of the rules of international humanitarian law.
The committee called on international institutions working in the field of human rights or international legal institutions to impose international protection for journalists and media institutions from the repeated attacks of the occupation against them.
