Swiss journalists are within their rights to call Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon a war criminal, according to the Swiss Press Council.

The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
