Journalists who reveal stories of public interest are often attacked and killed. Already this year over 70 journalists have had to pay the ultimate price. 9 out of 10 killings go unpunished. Impunity for crimes against journalists affects the core of our freedoms of expression and -information. Silencing a journalist has consequences for everyone. We cannot turn a blind eye to impunity. We cannot let their deaths be invisible to society.

In the last 10 years, many stories of journalists on the ground can be told that reflect how the Plan has contributed to improving conditions so that they can work more safely. But despite these achievements, challenges still exist.



The 10th anniversary  is a milestone to Reaffirm, Recommit and Reposition efforts to advance the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity, the first concerted effort within the UN to address attacks and impunity of crimes against journalists.
