In the draft resolution, paragraph 11.1, delete the following words:

"(especially non-governmental organisations)".

Explanatory note

Non-governmental organisations have the right to seek, receive and impart information given to them in the same way as journalists. There is a risk this paragraph is misinterpreted as setting a higher threshold for non-governmental organisations. Deleting the words in brackets will minimise this risk.
