UNESCO and Media Law: International Pressure on Text
The article focused on UNESCO's role in amending Lebanese media law, as well as highlighted the objections of journalists' unions, who are calling for the abolition of prison sentences for journalists. Since 2010, UNESCO has provided technical and legal feedback to support freedom of expression, particularly against imprisonment, and has worked to amend the texts in accordance with international standards. Nevertheless, the parliament approved the law in a manner that did not consider these international recommendations, posing a threat to press freedom. Currently, union members are counting on UNESCO's pressure to reinstate reforms, especially the abolition of prison sentences, to unify the media body, and to achieve a more modern and transparent law.
