Abstract

In this paper, the main ethical challenges that translators acting as communicative agents between two languages face when they work in a situation of conflict will be explained. First of all we will define the main concepts of the activity they perform and the main ethical principles that should be respected so as to be able to neutrally transmit a message without being influenced by the interests of the parties. The methodology that should be followed in this case will also be explained. After that we will include a practical example of the role of a communicative agentin Iraq to show how all the concepts outlined in this paper can be applied. Finally, the main conclusions reached in this research paper will be explained.
