Directive 7.10: Images of war, conflict and celebrities
Photography and televised images of war, conflict, acts of terrorism as well as images of famous people must be carefully examined - before publication or broadcast - in the interests of answering the following questions relating to responsibility:
What exactly do these images represent? Is the nature of the scene likely to harm the person or persons represented in these images, the people looking at the images, or both? If the document shows a moment of contemporary history, does the right of the dead to rest in peace weigh more heavily than the public interest? In the case of archive material, is a republication authorised? Is the person represented still in the same situation?
