End impunity for crimes against journalists

20 December 2017

In 85 percent of cases concerning killing of journalists in the OSCE region during the past 25 years, the perpetrators and masterminds remain unpunished. Impunity leads to self-censorship and breeds further violence. Governments must step up their efforts to fully investigate and end impunity for murders of journalists. Safety of journalists, and ending impunity, is the Representative's first priority.
