Letter in support of Richard Horton (original) (raw)

to established tenets of respect for international humanitarian law. As a renowned journal editor, Richard Horton must take risks and break new ground in order to stay abreast of complex intersecting fi elds. By giving voice to those who have strong opinions, he has advanced dialogue and upheld the value of tolerance, which is in such short supply. We support him for doing so and respect him for allowing diverse points of view to be discussed in an independent academic space. We declare no competing interests.
