Assignment Justice: A Practical Guide for Sudanese Journalists

This 40-page manual, produced by Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR) Netherlands, is designed to increase the capacity of Sudanese journalists to report on issues related to international justice, the courts, and local trials. According to the publishers, reporting on international justice is one of the most important and challenging assignments that journalists will encounter in their careers. International justice has all the elements of a good story: opposing sides, tension, human interest, and real-life drama. However, international justice is a sensitive topic that requires informed, responsible, and objective reporting. Drawing on IWPR's training experience in other countries in which the International Criminal Court is active, such as Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the manual supports journalists to understand international justice and produce balanced, accurate stories on the subject and related issues.
