Reporting Human Rights, Conflicts, and Peacebuilding Critical and Global Perspectives?Ibrahim Seaga Shaw , Senthan Selvarajah

-About this book

This book focuses on the reporting of human rights in times of conflict broadly defined.
It brings together in one volume scholarly and professional ideas on the role of media in constructing human rights and peacebuilding options in conflict and post-conflict transformation and development drawing on case studies from Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.

This book also provides critical reflections on the challenges and obstacles faced by journalists working in traditional and new media in upholding the international human rights norms and addressing justice and accountability issues, as well as their implications for constructing human rights and peacebuilding options in their day-to-day professional activities.
The volume is a meeting ground of ideas and approaches in the form ofresearch papers that identify areas of convergence of media, human rights and conflicts within a just peace framework. The chapters embrace a variety of theoretical, empirical, and methodological approaches, including critical, interpretive, social scientific, and pragmatic.

They provide critical perspectives on the prospects and shortcomings of traditional practices of reporting human rights and conflicts. They also provide unpretentious ideas, outlooks and information to foster understanding of the underlying conflict dynamics, and stimulate appropriate action for peace and human rights protection.
