Today is Human Rights Day and the press freedom watchdog, the International Press Institute (IPI), is marking it with a message and a short film, called My Voice.
It features the award-winning humanitarian photojournalist Giles Duley who explains his work in documenting post-conflict communities, to portray what he calls “the legacy of war.”
