The following recommendation did not enjoy the support of Bolivia:
Continue to support media initiatives on self-regulation, including the newly
established Tribunal deEtica for print journalists (United Kingdom).
The country offered the following comments:
The Government of Bolivia recognizes, in terms of norms and practice, the
right to freedom of expression, opinion and information. In addition, it
supports the creation of organizations and the self-regulation of employees of
the media, which are participatory and inclusive. However, it cannot support a
tribunal of ethics if it comprises only entrepreneurs and does not include all
media employees. It is for that reason that we are obliged to reject this
recommendation. Accordingly, we shall continue to support all initiatives that
support the building of a democratic and inclusive society.
101. All conclusions and/or recommendations set out in the present report reflect
