A coalition of news organizations called on the United Nations on Friday to investigate reports that NATO and Israeli forces have targeted journalists in breach of international law.
The International News Safety Institute (INSI) said the international coalition conducting an air operation in Libya and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) may have violated the Geneva Convention and a Security Council resolution "which calls on all members states to protect journalists and media staff working in conflict zones."
"We call on NATO and the IDF to respect the safety of journalists and allow them to go about their business free from harm or threat of harm," INSI Director Rodney Pinder said.
