The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, observed annually, highlights the critical issue of violence against journalists and the need to bring perpetrators to justice. Journalists play a vital role in providing information, holding power to account, and promoting transparency, yet many face threats, harassment, and violence simply for doing their jobs. This day calls attention to the dangers faced by journalists worldwide and advocates for greater protection and accountability.
Impunity for crimes against journalists remains alarmingly high, with many attacks going unpunished, creating a culture of fear and self-censorship. The day emphasises the need for governments to investigate and prosecute crimes against media professionals, ensuring that freedom of the press is upheld and that journalists can work without fear of retribution.
Through campaigns, discussions, and awareness initiatives, the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists seeks to support press freedom, promote safe environments for media workers, and honour those who have lost their lives in the pursuit of truth. It serves as a reminder that without a free press, democracy and human rights are at risk.
