    Murdered journalists: 90% of killers get away with it but who are the victims? With 370 dead over 10 years, governments need to do more to catch the killers, says the Committee to Protect Journalist • Nils Horner’s death highlights lack of justice for those murdered at work • Greenslade: 90% of journalists’ murderers across the world escape justice • theguardian.com, Monday 3 November 2014 21.10 AEST The 683 journalists murdered since 1992 Photograph: CPJ data A grim toll of 370 journalists have been murdered over the past 10 years in direct retaliation for doing their job. An even more alarming statistic is that 90% of their killers have not been brought to justice, according to statistics from the Committee to Protect Journalists. In its report, The road to justice: breaking the cycle of impunity in the killing of journalists, the CPJ argues that governments need to do much more to catch the killers.

    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 13664 12 January 2015 Protection of media freedom in Europe Report1 Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media Rapporteur: Mr Gvozden Srećko FLEGO, Croatia, Socialist Group Summary Media freedom constitutes an important index for democracy, political freedoms and the rule of law in a country or region. In view of the deterioration of the safety of journalists and media freedom in Europe, Council of Europe member States must step up their domestic and multilateral efforts for the respect of the human rights to freedom of expression and information as well as to the protection of the life, liberty and security of those working for and with the media. With reference to alleged targeted attacks on journalists in the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, as well as alleged targeted physical attacks by police or security forces against journalists covering demonstrations and other manifestations of popular protest, full judicial investigations into those attacks are necessary by member States in view of their respective obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. National parliaments are invited to hold annual public debates on the state of media freedom in their respective countries, and Council of Europe action should be taken in accordance with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 68/163. 1. Reference to committee: Doc. 13124, Reference 3943 of 22 April 2013; Doc. 13274, Reference 3995 of 30 September 2013; Doc. 13570, Reference 4078 of 3 October 2014.

    The Road to Justice Breaking the Cycle of Impunity In the Killing of Journalists A special report by the Committee to Protect Journalists Defending Journalists Worldwide The Road to Justice Breaking the Cycle of Impunity In the Killing of Journalists A special report by the Committee to Protect Journalists Issued October 2014 Defending Journalists Worldwide CONTENTS A rally marks the 2009 murder of Russian journalist Anastasiya Baburova. REUTERS/SERGEI KARPUKHIN 2 CONTENTS 5 ABOUT THIS REPORT 6 FOREWORD CHAPTER I 8 WHAT DOES IMPUNITY MEAN? It isn’t just one story that ends with a journalist’s death; a climate of intimidation builds. If no one is punished, killers are emboldened, and violence repeats. Journalists have no choice but to censor themselves or even flee into exile. Targeted attacks on the media have kept the world from understandingCHAPTER the II full dimension of violence in Syria, drug trafficking in Mexico, militant influence in Pakistan, and corruption in Russia. 10 MEASURING PROGRESS AGAINST STUBBORN REALITY International recognition of impunity as a global problem, including by the United Nations, is an important step. But outside of political corridors, progress is spotty; impunity rates have risen steadily over the past decade in most countries. One encouraging sign: convictions in journalist murders have been edging higher. One country, Colombia, embodies hope, but also shows the long road that must be traveled to reach justice. CHAPTER III 14 WHERE IMPUNITY THRIVES There are many ways that widespread, enduring impunity takes hold when it comes to attacks on journalists. In some cases, it is a lack of political will.

  • Director-General Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger
    CI-20/COUNCIL.32/4 Paris, 27 October 2020 Original: English Distribution limited Thirty-second session of the Intergovernmental Council of the International Programme for the Development of Communication 25-26 November 2020 Room X, Fontenoy Building 9.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m.- 5.30 p.m. Item 11 of the provisional agenda Director-General Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Executive summary 2. Background and context 3. Journalists’ killings in 2018 and 2019 4. States’ responses: status of the judicial enquiries on cases of journalists killed from 2006 to end 2019 5. Other monitoring & reporting mechanisms on safety of journalists 6. Conclusion Annexes Annex A: Methodology for the analysis of Member States’ responses on the status of judicial investigations Annex B: Status of judicial enquiries of journalists killed in 2006-2019 Annex C: List of killings of journalists condemned by the Director-General in 2018 and 2019 Annex D: Regional groupings 1. Executive Summary In 2018-2019, UNESCO recorded a total of 156 killings of journalists worldwide, a 14% drop from the previous two-year period, when UNESCO recorded a total of 182 killings. The year 2019 in particular shows the lowest annual death toll in 10 years with 57 deaths. However, closer analysis of these numbers shows some worrying trends. Within this overall decline, a total of 89 of the killings recorded in 2018-2019 occurred in countries not experiencing armed conflict, compared to 67 in conflict contexts.1 This is the continuation of a long-term trend whereby casualties in countries experiencing armed conflict have significantly declined, but this has been less the case in countries with no armed conflict where fatal attacks continue against journalists covering stories related to corruption, human rights violations, environmental crimes, trafficking, and political wrongdoing.

  • Russia 2012 Human Rights Report
    RUSSIA 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Russian Federation has a highly centralized political system, with power increasingly concentrated in the president, and a weak multiparty political system. The bicameral Federal Assembly consists of a lower house (State Duma) and upper house (Federation Council). Presidential elections in March featured accusations of government interference and manipulation of the electoral process. Security forces generally reported to civilian authorities; however, in some areas of the Northern Caucasus, there were serious problems with civilian control. The most significant human rights problems during the year involved: 1. Restrictions of Civil Liberties: Following increased mobilization of civil society and mass demonstrations in reaction to elections, the government introduced a series of measures limiting political pluralism. During the year Russia adopted laws that impose harsh fines for unsanctioned meetings; identify nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) as “foreign agents” if they engage in “political activity” while receiving foreign funding; suspend NGOs that have U.S. citizen members or receive U.S. support and are engaged in “political activity” or “pose a threat to Russian interests”; recriminalize libel; allow authorities to block Web sites without a court order; and significantly expand the definition of treason. Media outlets were pressured to alter their coverage or to fire reporters and editors critical of the government. 2. Violations of Electoral Processes: Domestic and international observers described the presidential campaign as skewed in favor of the ruling party’s candidate, Vladimir Putin. Procedural irregularities marred voting, with reports of vote fraud, administrative measures disadvantaging the opposition, and pressure on election monitoring groups. Several gubernatorial elections in October were likewise criticized.

  • Çeçenistan Rusya Gerginliğinde Rus Medyasi: Kuzey Osetya Beslan Okul Kuşatmasi Örneği
    ÇEÇENİSTAN RUSYA GERGİNLİĞİNDE RUS MEDYASI: KUZEY OSETYA BESLAN OKUL KUŞATMASI ÖRNEĞİ Doç. Dr. Leyla BUDAK EGE Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi İletişim Bilimleri Anabilim Dalı [email protected] Öz: Bugün Rusya Federasyonu’nda demokratik kurumlar mevcuttur, ancak bu kurumların ne kadar demokratik işlevler üstlendiği tartışmaya açıktır. Demokratik bir toplumda hayati bir rol üstlenen medya bu kurumlardan biridir. Kitle iletişim araçları, demokrasilerde toplumu etkileyen olaylara ilişkin görüş ve düşünceleri sunmada önemli bir rol üstlenirler. Sovyet sisteminin yıkılışından sonra medyada resmi sansür yasaklanmış olmasına rağmen gerçekte olanlar bunu doğrulamamaktadır. 1 Eylül 2004’te Rusya Federasyonu’na bağlı Kuzey Osetya’da küçük bir kasaba olan Beslan uluslararası haber takibinin gündemine oturmuştur. 7 Bir grup Çeçen direnişçi bir okulda öğrencileri ve öğretmenleri üç gün boyunca rehin almıştır. Bu makalede Rusya Federasyonu’nda medyanın Beslan okul olaylarının haber takibini nasıl gerçekleştirdikleri değerlendirilmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Beslan, Rus Medyası, Haber, Çeçen Sorunu, Basın Özgürlüğü (RUSSIAN MEDIA IN CHECHEN RUSSIAN CONFLICT THE CASE OF NORTH OSETIA BESLAN SCHOOL SIEGE) Abstract: Russia today has democratic institutions, but it may be debated to what extent they are allowed to function democratically. One of these institutions is the mass media, which plays a vital role in a democratic society. Mass media plays a vital role in how society views and responds to events that affect them in a democracy. After the collapse of the Soviet system formal censorship in media was banned even though the reality has been different. On September 1, 2004, a school in the Russian town, Beslan, became the subject of international news coverage . A group of Chechen separatists seized the school and kept its teachers and students hostage for three days.
