The World Assembly,
Realizing there is currently no legislation in place to protect war correspondents.
Knowing that the previous legislation concerning the safety of war correspondents was rightfully struck out null and void,
Understanding that correspondents do not have legal immunity and can be either swayed by personal bias, a third-party, or ignorance of the law to commit unlawful acts,
Hereby,
1. Defines a war correspondent as a militarily unbiased journalist who reports details of a military conflict from a firsthand perspective in such a way that it does not benefit a military combatant politically, militarily, or in any other fashion,
2. Mandates that all war correspondents be marked as such via a uniform distinction and carried identification,
3. Establishes that soldiers, officials, or otherwise affiliates of any military may not fire upon, assault, or otherwise attack a war correspondent physically in an intentional form,
4. Prohibits official militaries from taking a war correspondent as a prisoner of war under any circumstances unless the correspondents violates their own neutrality as stated in the definition,
5. Forbids combatants from bribing a war correspondent or threatening them with violence to influence the correspondent's actions, and further forbids a war correspondent from soliciting or accepting bribes,
6. Clarifies that while war correspondents in their work must have leeway to report and conduct interviews with primary sources, combatants remain under no obligation to answer,
7. States that war correspondents have no right to possess confidential military or political informations pertaining to combatants in the conflict they are reporting, and that to possess and/or disclose said information identifies them as a combatant themselves.
