The severity of the spread of false narratives or misleading information exists in the possibility of contributing to the exacerbation of conflict and escalation of violence, which would in turn be a direct cause for the demoralization of peace and stability, due to the fact that heightened tensions thus making it difficult to reach peaceful resolutions.

More hazardously, misinformation can have critical humanitarian consequences, either by obstructing the delivery of essential humanitarian aid and relief efforts, or causing the targeting of civilians.

Moreover, holding that misinformation can bring about misguided public sentiment and manipulation of public opinion in such contexts, we hereby reaffirm on the crucial role of media organizations in combating misinformation, disinformation, and fake news, and in shaping public perception being an integral constituent for conflict resolution.
