| 56 | Shulamith | Koenig | NY | US | There is no other option but human rights,. and no one human rights can violate another. And if we are to develop in the words of Nelson Mandela: --a new political culture based on human rights the freedom of press and expression is pivotal and an imperative to the realization of human rights for all women, men youth and children. Our journalists are spearheading critical thinking and analysis which is critical to creating a world based on human rights. Without them oppression wil go unchecked and the hopes for the realization of human rights will be in doubt. Free journalists and a free media are the signs of a free, creative responsible and healthy society! |
