S.L. 350.26 Art. 3

Respect for Human Dignity and Treatment of Racial Groups 3.1 Viewers and listeners have a right to expect that broadcasters will assume their responsibility to respect and to promote human dignity, in respect of both individuals and individuals as members of groups. 3.2 Individuals must not be exploited or caused unnecessary distress, nor should the audience be made to feel that they are mere voyeurs of others’ distress. 3.3 The likely effects of both mis-representation and under-representation must be taken into account when portraying vulnerable racial groups.
