UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression
Frank La Rue
(A/HRC/26/30/Add.1)
Country visit: 11 - 17 June 2013
Report Published: 29 April 2014
Children identity in the media: The Special Rapporteur was very concerned by the level of polarization that exists in the Montenegrin media. Media groups appear to be divided between those taking a critical position against the ruling authorities […] and those taking a more supportive view (para. 50). The great polarization and politicization of the media directly affected efforts towards self-regulation (para. 52). The lack of success in self-regulatory efforts is aggravating concerns relating to the bad quality of some of the work done by the media. There have been complaints made, for example, with regard to the disclosure of the identity of children […].It has also been alleged that some media have refused at times to acknowledge and publicly correct serious mistakes even after complaints had been made. (para. 54).
