A/HRC/15/54 24. Some delegations recommended that the Human Rights Council play a complementary and supportive role to the work of the Security Council and other international bodies and organizations to protect journalists in armed conflict, by focusing on human rights aspects of violence against journalists around the world, such as violations of the right to freedom of expression, arbitrary arrest and detention and reprisals against journalists. Delegations and panellists also stressed that documentation of violations, for example through the Human Rights Council, the Security Council and UNESCO, played a key role in overcoming cultures of impunity and ensuring accountability. Suggestions were also made to have a comprehensive report to document attacks on journalists worldwide, and for the United Nations Secretary-General to present a specific report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1738. 25. Some delegations also welcomed the report on the issue of protection of journalists submitted to the Human Rights Council by the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and encouraged the Special Rapporteur to enhance his cooperation with human rights treaty monitoring bodies and other organizations, including regional organizations and non-governmental organizations, to promote the rights of journalists to perform their job in a safe as possible environment in areas of armed conflict. 26. Noting that the creation of robust democratic institutions and adequate judicial and administrative mechanisms enhanced the ability of States to protect and secure the rights of all individuals, including journalists, a recommendation was also made to the Human Rights Council to assist States emerging from armed conflict to rebuild their legal and institutional frameworks and to create conditions to promote and protect the right to freedom of expression. 27. Several delegations also noted the need to address the protection of journalists in all situations, not limited to armed conflict, and suggested that the Human Rights Council consider holding a further panel discussion on that topic as follow-up. 28. In his concluding remarks, the Vice-President of the Council stated that the panel was an exceptional opportunity to bring to light the perils encountered by journalists in armed conflict. He noted that the recommendations formulated through the panel should serve as guidance in devising concrete action, including an appropriate response by the Human Rights Council. 7
