Reporting still remains as the main task, but their perform implies also other important consequences within both public opinion -more reachable than ever thanks to new techno-logies- and the international organizations, what clearly recognize the usefulness of the information provided to reporters for the achievement of their duties. But the revitalization of journalism in armed conflict has a direct consequence: the increasing threats against their security. The UN Security Council recalled that the issue of protection of jour-nalists in armed conflict continues where it was a decade ago, when the Resolution 1738, the first one explicitly dedicated to this issue was adopted, and warns about the lack of States´ commitment to prevent it among reporters. It is necessary to rethink how can journalists pro-tect international peace, and how can international institutions protect journalists. Keywords Armed conflict, freedom of expression, information, journalism, pro-tection of civilians, war correspondent.
