CITING PRESS FREEDOM, UN URGES IRAQI AUTHORITIES TO REMOVE BAN ON TV
CHANNELSNew York, Apr 30 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations today urged
Iraq's Communication and Media Commission to reconsider its decision
to suspend the licenses of several television stations, while
stressing the importance of ensuring press freedom in the country.

"Press freedom is a fundamental pillar of democracy, one that the
United Nations takes very seriously,"
<"http://unami.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2790&ctl=Details&mid=5079&ItemID=1399472&language=en-US">said
Martin Kobler, the Secretary-General's Special Representative and head
of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).

Iraqi authorities reportedly suspended the licences of 10 satellite
channels because of a rise in sectarian unrest that has killed over
170 people in less than a week. <i>Al-Jazeera TV</i> and
<i>Sharqiya</i> are among the channels accused of 'inciting violence',
according to media reports.

"This decision comes at a critical time for Iraq," Mr. Kobler added in
a news release. "I urge the Commission to fully respect its commitment
to press freedom and at the same time I urge all media to exercise
integrity and professional ethics in their daily work."

Louise Haxthausen, the Director of the UN Education, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Office in Iraq, urged the authorities
to consider that the measures "might have adverse effects on stability
efforts, as responsible media have a vital role to play in ensuring
dialogue based on freedom of expression as a means to resolve
differences."

"We request the Iraqi authorities to revise the decision carefully and
quickly," said Ms. Haxthausen.Apr 30 2013 1:00PM
