Recommendation
In light of the particular importance of the maintenance of journalistic freedoms under Article 10 ECHR, we recommend that the IC Code is updated to give clear guidance on the meaning of ‘urgent’ in the specific context of authorisations by senior officials under new section 154(2)(b) concerning journalistic material, as well as illustrative examples. This updated guidance should be published within six months of the Remedial Order coming into force.
