What is this ethical committee supposed to do? If it finds editors being
unethical, does it admonish them in private? Name and shame in public? Block
or ban? And which standard of ethics is operated? Christian ethics, or
western secular humanist ethics? What about Islam or Hinduism?

As you may see I don't think this has been thought out. "Hard cases make bad
law".
