PROFILING IMPUNITY
for HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
against JOURNALISTS
An ESRC-funded research project examining the causes of impunity - or lack of accountability - for violations against journalists, including its consequences for journalism, civil society and the strategies used to resist it.
Impunity for crimes against journalists remains entrenched globally, with almost 80% of journalist murders failing to result in accountability.
Committee to Protect Journalists’ 2024 Global Impunity Index
The project will build a global Community of Practice (CoP), bringing together civil society, academic, and policy actors as primary producers and users of data on impunity for violations against journalists. A series of workshops and knowledge-sharing events will be hosted to aim to strengthen research and documentation capacities, generating high-quality, accountability-focused data to support advocacy and policy efforts at local, regional, and international levels.
