Fact-Checking Policy

At Treaty Alliance News, we are committed to accuracy, fairness, and responsible journalism. Our mission is to provide clear, reliable, and accessible information about corporate accountability, human rights, environmental justice, and global treaty efforts.

We understand that these are complex and evolving topics. That’s why we take fact-checking seriously and aim to ensure our readers can trust the information we publish.

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

We work to ensure that all articles on TreatyAlliance.org are:

Factually accurate and reliable
Based on reputable, verifiable sources
Written in clear, accessible language

We recognize that corporate accountability, environmental policy, and human rights issues can vary across regions and change over time. We strive to reflect that complexity honestly.

2. Sources We Use

Our editorial team relies on a range of reputable sources, including:

Official documents and statements from international organizations (e.g., United Nations, OECD)
Academic research and peer-reviewed journals
Reports from established NGOs and civil society groups
Reputable news outlets and professional journalism
Interviews with experts, activists, and community members

We aim to cross-check key claims and avoid relying on a single source whenever possible.

3. Verification and Review Process

Before publishing any article, we:

Research and gather information from multiple credible sources
Cross-verify key facts and data
Review language for clarity, accuracy, and neutrality
Seek to update or correct content when new information emerges

We also periodically review older articles to ensure they remain accurate and relevant.

4. Transparency and Attribution

We aim to:

Attribute information clearly to its sources
Distinguish between reporting, analysis, and opinion
Provide context so readers understand complex issues

5. Handling Complex and Evolving Topics

We recognize that these topics are often contested or evolving.

We do our best to represent different perspectives fairly.
We acknowledge when issues are uncertain, debated, or changing.
We avoid overstating certainty where it doesn’t exist.
