As part of a series of events entitled ‘Ethics in the News’ with the Frontline Club, the Ethical Journalism Network teamed up with Global Rights Compliance to put together a panel to debate the legal and ethical issues encountered by journalists when they are asked, sometimes ordered, to testify in international criminal tribunals. It will not be long before journalists covering the war crimes in Syria and Yemen, or the potential acts of genocide against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, and many other conflicts besides, are asked, perhaps even compelled, to testify about what they witnessed. This event aimed to help provide journalists with an ethical framework and legal understanding of the difficulties that arise. Chaired by Dorothy Byrne, the panellists included Ed Vulliamy, Wayne Jordash KC, the Rt Hon. Lord Justice Adrian Fulford, and Wendy Betts of eyeWitness to Atrocities.
