One of the most defining chapters of her career occurred during the Bosnian War in the mid-1990s. Reporting from the besieged city of Sarajevo, Amanpour was often criticized for her perceived lack of neutrality, as she frequently called out the atrocities committed against Bosnian civilians. She famously defended her stance by arguing that objectivity does not mean treating all sides equally when one side is the victim of genocide; rather, she believes in "truth, not neutrality," a philosophy that has become a cornerstone of her journalistic legacy and earned her honorary citizenship of Sarajevo.
