The Code of Conduct for the Media in Relation to Children

Organization Friends of Children of Serbia, one of the members of the Network of Organizations for Children of Serbia, published a very interesting and important publication back in 1993, entitled "The Code of Children and the Media".

The publication "The Code of Children and the Media - The Code of Conduct for the Media in Relation to Children" contains guidelines on the conduct of the media towards children that should contribute primarily to the protection of children's privacy, protecting children from inappropriate and disturbing content, but also to the education of adults and children. The document starts from the Convention on the Rights of the Child of the United Nations and in 1993 it was accepted by almost all political parties in Serbia.
