Established by the UN General Assembly and commemorated on 2 November, the International Day to End Impunity against Journalist serves as an opportunity to reflect on the increasingly precarious environment that journalists have to operate in so that they can shine a light on facts and speak truth to power. At DROI meeting MEPs will have the opportunity to hear personal testimonies from journalists operating in dire conditions, representatives of civil society as well as international institutions who will provide the Subcommittee on the urgent need to comprehensively address crimes committed against journalisms and to reinforce our tools and processes for holding the perpetrators of such heinous crimes accountable.
