Ethics, Legal and Privacy Standards
EasternBlog is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical journalism and photography. Every effort is made to respect the privacy and dignity of individuals featured in the photographs.
Images are published only with consent or in contexts where public interest justifies their use. However, it is possible that rights or standards in certain countries could inadvertently be violated, as I may not be fully aware of all laws and standards applicable worldwide.
The photographed individuals were asked for permission if they were at the center of the shot. If they were members of the military or police, they were blurred. For recordings of public events, the right to photograph in public spaces applies. This also applies to military parades or parades involving the military or security forces. Military facilities or critical infrastructure were blurred. Objects or areas marked with a prohibition on photography or video recording were not captured.
If you believe any content violates ethical standards or personal rights or any other right, please contact me with a detailed description of your concern. I take such matters seriously and will address them promptly.
