It is the first book-length analysis of the security and protection of journalists who can also be seen as human rights defenders. The book draws on 89 interviews with such journalist-defenders and organisations that support them, carried out in 2018 and 2022\/23. It shows how journalists use several interlinked strategies to seek justice and protection: domestic and international strategies (\"protection approaches,\" or making rights demands of the state, often via intermediaries), and activist and professional strategies (\"self-protection approaches\").\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritical of international relations scholarly debates on the value of international human rights law\/norms to local civil society, Tamsin Mitchell demonstrates that while protection approaches based on such standards are important and valued, they are not enough: self-protection is central - and increasingly so. She advocates the need to take a more bottom-up and inclusive approach to civil society and the importance of alternative, non-legal norms in (self-)protection and truth- and justice-seeking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for both academics and practitioners, \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights, Impunity and Anti-Press Violence \u003c\/i\u003eprescribes new areas of research and debate in international relations, global studies, human rights and media\/journalism studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48057519603863,"sku":"9781032449685","price":5992.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032449685.webp?v=1784897005","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/human-rights-impunity-and-anti-press-violence-9781032449685","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
