Abstract

ACFC Opinions have developed various principles on intercultural dialogue, which detail, and crystallize, the responsibilities of the state parties to the FCNM in furthering intercultural dialogue and tolerance through the media. Principles developed by the ACFC relate, inter alia, to training and awareness-raising activities for journalists, collaboration with persons belonging to minorities in the development of programmes, the adoption of journalistic codes of ethics and relevant legislation, as well as media monitoring.
