JusticeInfo

Justiceinfo.net aims to provide accurate, independent news and information. Justiceinfo.net aims to help its readers forge their opinions freely. Justiceinfo.net demands of itself professionalism and excellence in its field of activity, including measurable results in relation to clearly defined objectives, a capacity to analyse situations, rigorous management, quality and thus success for our media platform. Professionalism is for us a primary value. Independence from political and economic powers is cardinal. Only this independence can guarantee that our journalism is impartial. Honesty is essential, we think. Firstly honesty as journalists so we will check facts to the best of our ability, putting aside our own subjectivity, convictions, life experiences and personal points of view. Also honesty as a general principle, in our relations with third parties, hosts, donors and partners. With regard to contracts, commitments and promises, we aim to favour transparency over guile. Empathy and respect for others encompasses a number of things that we hold dear. They include respect for differences between cultures, for individual differences and for tolerance. Being open to the world is part of our identity. The staff and correspondents of Justiceinfo.net are of many different nationalities and cultures. Justiceinfo.net must represent different opinions and points of view. Justiceinfo.net is a news website but also a place for debate and opinion. As a forum on transitional justice it welcomes debate, opinion pieces, analyses and interviews and promotes debates between opposing views that are balanced and respectful of all sides. The Head of Project and Editor in Chief may write Opinion pieces, provided they are presented clearly as such. As Fondation Hirondelle journalists, members of the editorial team have neither the mandate nor the authority to take part personally in an argument or debate on transitional justice. They may share opinions and advice on the defence of justice and global justice issues with other components of society and concerned players. In the same vein, Justiceinfo.net may post signed editorials and "columns" or "Op Eds" that can help forge the identity of the website.
