Crimes Against Journalists: Int’l Day To End Impunity Being Observed Today

International Day To End Impunity For Crimes Against Journalists is being observed today.

This year’s theme of the day is “safety of journalists in crises and emergencies.”

The UN General Assembly through a resolution proclaimed November 2 as the international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists in commemoration of the assassination of two French journalists in Mali on this day in 2013.

Since the beginning of the year, at least 76 journalists and media workers have been killed in the course of their work, 46 of them in Gaza.

According to the latest statistics from the International Federation Of Journalists, at least 146 journalists have lost their lives there since the beginning of the conflict in October 2023 – the bloodiest period in the history of journalism.

The International Federation Of Journalists condemns, in particular, Israel’s attitude towards the press and its attacks on media workers as a result of the war in Gaza.
