The 2024 United Nations International Media Seminar on Peace in the Middle East is organized by the United Nations Department for Global Communications, as part of its special information programme on the question of Palestine.
This annual seminar aims to sensitize public opinion to the question of Palestine, enhance dialogue and understanding between media practitioners, and foster and encourage their contribution in support of a peaceful settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
At a time of alarmingly escalated crisis, this year’s seminar will bring together journalists, media professionals, scholars and diplomats from Israel, the State of Palestine, Switzerland, and other parts of the world to examine two very pertinent themes: "Freedom of the Press and Safety of Journalists in a Time of War" and “Behind the Headlines of Gaza: Media Challenges and Perspectives.”
This public event will take place on 1 November at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, in Room XXVI. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in Arabic.
