2018 DG Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity
INTRODUCTION This report is submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of the International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC) in line with the Decision on the Safety of Journalists and the issue of Impunity adopted by the Council at its 26th session on 27 March 2008, and renewed at subsequent sessions in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016. In its latest Decision, adopted in November 2016, the IPDC Council urged Member States to “continue to inform the Director-General of UNESCO, on a voluntary basis, on the status of the judicial inquiries conducted on each of the killings condemned by the Director-General�. The present report provides an analysis of the cases of killings of journalists and associated media personnel that were condemned by the Director-General in 2016 and 2017. It also takes stock of the status of judicial enquiries conducted on each of the killings recorded by UNESCO between 2006 and 2017, based on information provided by Member States.

1. Executive Summary This report provides an overview of data collected by UNESCO on killings of journalists that took place between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2017. In addition, the report analyzes the status of judicial enquiries of the killings recorded by UNESCO since 2006, based on information made available to UNESCO by Member States. In 2016-2017, UNESCO recorded the killings of 182 journalists, which marks a slight decrease in the number of fatalities compared to the previous two-year period. However, compared to earlier periods, such as 2007-2011, numbers remain elevated. In 2017, the largest number of killings took place in the Asia and the Pacific region (34% of all killings), while in 2016, the largest number of killings occurred in the Arab States (31%). A rise in the percentage of women journalists among those killed in 2017 marks the continuation of a trend that has become apparent over the last years. However, while the proportion of women among fatalities has risen, the majority of killed journalists are men. An increase in the number of journalists killed outside of armed conflict zones can be noted in the last few years, with a majority of journalists (55%) in 2017 killed in countries not experiencing armed conflict. Many of these journalists were reporting on topics related to corruption, trafficking, and political wrongdoing. In line with observations of previous years, local journalists remain the vast majority among victims. Even though a slightly higher proportion of cases has been reported as being resolved (11% of cases, compared to 8% of cases in 2016), legal impunity for perpetrators is still the norm for most killings of journalists. A regression in the response rate of Member States to the Director-General’s request for information on the judicial follow-up to killings of journalists is a worrisome development. However, even though the Member States’ response rate dropped by 10 percentage points (from 74% in 2017 to 64% in 2018), 15 Member States followed the Director-General’s invitation to provide information on positive measures taken to address the safety of journalists and impunity.
2. Background and Context UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity UNESCO has continued to play a leading role in coordinating the implementation of the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity (hereafter referred to as UN Plan of Action), which was endorsed in 2012 by the UN Chief Executives Board.1

The UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity can be accessed in all official UN languages here.

The Plan is designed as a multi-stakeholder effort to coordinate responses aimed at the prevention of, protection against, and prosecution for attacks against journalists. Its implementing actors include UN agencies, national governmental authorities, regional organizations, human rights bodies, UN country teams, media actors, national and international NGOs, and academia. The implementation of the Plan revolves around six main pillars: standard setting and policy making, awareness-raising, monitoring and reporting, capacity building, academic research and coalition building. UNESCO gathers information on current developments, research and events associated with the UN Plan of Action in a bimonthly newsletter. In recent years, achievements in the implementation of the UN Plan have included:  
The UN Plan of Action is being implemented by UN Country Teams (UNCTs) or by civil society organization (CSO) coalitions in more than 30 countries; At least 12 countries have created or strengthened national, multi-stakeholder mechanisms for the safety of journalists, while the African Union (AU) announced in 2018 the creation of a working group dedicated to this issue whose role will include promoting the setting up of national mechanisms on the safety of journalists in selected AU countries;
Member States are increasingly aware of critical issues related to the safety of journalists, in large part due to the increased scale and promotion of dedicated international days such as World Press Freedom Day (3 May) and the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists (2 November).2 Multi-stakeholder Consultation on Strengthening the Implementation of the UN Plan of Action In 2017, UNESCO, together with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, organized a multi-stakeholder consultation to review ways of strengthening the implementation of the UN Plan of Action. This consultation process, which included an online component, culminated in a conference in Geneva, Switzerland, attended by some 250 representatives of UN agencies, Member States, regional intergovernmental organizations, civil society, media, internet intermediaries and academia. The Outcome Document from this consultation, which is also referenced in the 2018 Human Rights Council Resolution on the Safety of Journalists (A/HRC/39/L.73), highlights the need to translate international norms into national policies and practices. It also signals the need to create stronger synergies between the relevant UN agencies; to strengthen mechanisms at the national level that deal with prevention of, protection against and prosecution for crimes against journalists; and to address specific risks faced by women journalists, including online.4 It also encourages Member States to report “on the safety of journalists, including within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN human rights bodies and 2

UNESCO’s monitoring of judicial follow-up to killings”, and invites those Member States who respond to the Director-General’s request on judicial follow-up to killings of journalists to make their responses publically available. Network of Focal Points on the Safety of Journalists in the UN system One of the specific recommendations made to the UN in the Outcome Document of the multistakeholder consultation was the formalization and enhancement of a network of focal points in relevant UN agencies, funds and programmes to exchange information and coordinate actions promoting the safety of journalists and addressing impunity. In November 2017, UN Secretary-General António Guterres addressed a request to appoint focal points on the safety of journalists to 14 relevant UN agencies.5 Under the lead of UNESCO and OHCHR, and in close consultation with the Executive Office of the SecretaryGeneral, the enhanced Network of Focal Points has been operational since January 2018. Since then, Terms of Reference for the network have been drafted, and regular meetings have been held. The network has coordinated actions in a number of cases, elaborated a Work Plan, and discussed procedures for dealing with individual cases of attacks against journalists brought to the attention of the UN Secretary-General. Another development has been the appointment by the UN Secretary-General of UnderSecretary-General Ana Maria Menéndez as designated official for the safety of journalists. By appointing a senior official for the safety of journalists in the Secretary-General’s executive office, the SG further underlined his commitment to enhancing the UN response to improving safety of journalists. Adoption of new resolutions on the safety of journalists at UNESCO, the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council At its 39th session in November 2017, UNESCO’s General Conference adopted 39 C/Resolution 39, which encourages Member States to “strengthen voluntary implementation of the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity”, including through capacity building and the establishment of national safety mechanisms to prevent, protect against, and prosecute attacks on journalists.6 It also invites the DirectorGeneral to reinforce actions addressing the specific threats to the safety of women journalists, both online and off-line. This Resolution followed the adoption by the UNESCO Executive Board of 201 EX/Decision 5.I.I (April 2017) and 202 EX/Decision 5.I.K (October 2017) on the safety of journalists and the issue of impunity.78

In December 2017, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution A/RES/72/175, which calls upon States to implement more effectively the applicable legal framework for the protection of journalists and media workers in order to combat impunity. It also recognizes the decision of the Secretary-General to mobilize a network of focal points throughout the United Nations system.9 At the 39th session of the Human Rights Council, Member States adopted a Resolution that calls on States to develop and implement mechanisms aimed at preventing violence against journalists.10 The Resolution welcomes the establishment of the network of focal points throughout the United Nations system as well as the appointment of a designated official on the safety of journalists at the UN Secretary-General’s Executive Office. Furthermore, the Resolution expresses alarm at instances of public officials, political leaders and authorities intimidating or threatening the media, including individual journalists. The Human Rights Council, through this Resolution, calls upon States to “integrate the safety of journalists and media freedom into national development frameworks under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ”, and invites States to share information on a voluntary basis on the status of investigations into attacks and violence against journalists, including in response to requests to UNESCO through the mechanism operated by the IPDC. During the 39th session of the Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner for Human Rights also presented a report that provides an overview of existing mechanisms concerned with ensuring the safety of journalists.11 The High Commissioner highlights in this report that there have been notable and significant achievements in addressing the issue of the safety of journalists at international, regional and national levels, through a range of prevention, protection, monitoring and complaint mechanisms. The report notes however that attacks on journalists are increasing, which raises legitimate questions about the effectiveness of those mechanisms. According to the High Commissioner, the mechanisms could carry out an assessment of their effectiveness and impact, and involve multiple stakeholders in this process. Increased international attention to the issue of safety of women journalists In Resolution 70/162 (2015), the UN General Assembly acknowledged the “specific risks faced by women journalists in the exercise of their work and the importance of taking a gendersensitive approach when considering measures to address the safety of journalists.” The UN Secretary-General’s annual report to the General Assembly on the safety of journalists focused in 2017 on the safety of women journalists and stressed that “there is wide scope for much more to be done” in this area. In November 2017, UNESCO’s General Conference, in its 39 C/Resolution 39, “invited the Director-General to reinforce activities aimed at (…) addressing the specific threats to the safety of women journalists, both online and off-line.”

The review theme of the 62nd session of the UN Women's Commission on the Status of Women, held in New York in March 2018, was on women’s participation in and access to the media and ICTs. Within this framework, UNESCO organized a panel session on the range of threats encountered by women journalists. Groups of Friends of the Safety of Journalists In the last two years, informal “Groups of Friends” for the safety of journalists have been established by Member States’ permanent delegations at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, at the UN headquarters in New York and Geneva, and most recently at the OSCE in Vienna. In December 2017, the Group of Friends at UNESCO organized together with the Secretariat a workshop on national initiatives on the safety of journalists, which was attended by some 150 representatives of Member States and enabled the exchange of good practices in this area. Inclusion of indicator on safety of journalists within the SDG framework (Indicator 16.10. 1.) UNESCO’s monitoring and reporting role has been reinforced by the UN Statistical Commission designating the Organization as a contributing agency for indicator 16.10.1 of the SDGs, for the part related to the safety of journalists, and custodian agency for indicator 16.10.2, on public access to information. Indicator 16.10.1 covers the number of verified cases of killing, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, arbitrary detention and torture of journalists, associated media personnel, trade unionists and human rights advocates. The High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in 2019 will review, among four other goals, SDG 16 on peaceful, just and inclusive societies, and Member States will have the opportunity to report on successes and progress achieved at national level. IPDC and the safety of journalists The IPDC’s Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity has continued to evolve. Following the IPDC Council Decission on the safety of journalists in 2016, the report was expanded in 2018 to include good practices in this field as well as a greater focus on the specific threats faced by women journalists. A template was developed to guide Member States in their data collection efforts. Moreover, the Programme is working with governments to support national initiatives aimed at building the capacity of duty bearers to monitor and report on crimes against journalists and on their judicial follow-up in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, the East African region, and Latin America. Since 2016, assessments based on UNESCO’s Journalists Safety Indicators (JSIs) have been published in Kenya and Nepal. The JSIs allow for a mapping of the key features that indicate the extent to which journalists are able or not to carry out their work under safe conditions. The IPDC is also supporting a subregional assessment covering Somalia, Rwanda and Kenya. Complementary to the monitoring and reporting mechanisms, 90 projects related to the safety of journalists have been supported by the Programme since 2008 in 35 countries.

Engagement of civil society and academia under the UN Plan of Action The UN Plan of Action has also catalyzed new initiatives to coordinate work in the fields of civil society and academia. As an outcome of the UNESCO-organized World Press Freedom Day celebration in Helsinki (3 May 2016), a research network on the safety of journalists has been set up and has been playing an active role in coordinating and strengthening research in this field. The Journalism Safety Research Network (JSRN) is hosted at the University of Sheffield’s Centre for Freedom of the Media (CFOM). In March 2017, Free Press Unlimited, ARTICLE 19 and International Media Support launched a coalition on the safety of journalists to coordinate the efforts of CSOs in this area. Three coordination meetings have since taken place, to map the interventions of different CSOs in specific countries; to discuss emergency assistance; and to exchange on civil society’s role in advancing the implementation of the UN Plan of Action.
3. Journalists’ killings in 2016 and 2017: key findings The following section of the report presents an analysis of the killings of journalists condemned by UNESCO’s Director-General in 2016 and 2017. In line with IPDC Decision on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity adopted at the last IPDC Council session in 2016, the analysis covers “journalists, media workers and social media producers who are engaged in journalistic activities and who are killed in their line of duty”. In 2016 and 2017, UNESCO recorded 182 killings of journalists worldwide. In 2016, 102 killings were recorded, while 2017 showed a decrease with the number of fatalities falling to 80, the lowest number since 2011. Overall, the number of killings in 2016-2017 is lower than that in the previous two-year period, when 213 killings were recorded. However, this trend does not appear to be confirmed in 2018, with 80 killings already condemned by the DirectorGeneral of UNESCO as of 09 October 2018.

In 2017, the largest number of fatal attacks (27 killings) took place in the Asia and the Pacific region, representing 34% of the total, followed by Latin America and the Caribbean with 28% of killings (22 killings). In the Arab States region, UNESCO documented 18 killings, representing 22% of killings of journalists registered worldwide. In 2016, the same three regions recorded the highest numbers of killings; however, the highest number of fatalities, namely 31% of the cases documented by UNESCO, was recorded in the Arab States (32 killings). The second deadliest region in 2016 was Latin America and the Caribbean with 27% of the total (28 killings) followed by the Asia and the Pacific region with 27 killings. In both years, less than 10% of overall killings took place in Africa, Western Europe and North America, and Central and Eastern Europe, respectively. In 2016 and 2017, the two countries with the highest number of fatalities were Afghanistan and Mexico. In 2017, 13 journalists were killed in Mexico and 11 lost their lives in Afghanistan, while in 2016, both countries each suffered the loss of 13 journalists. In both years, Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic were among the five countries with the highest number of killings. The conflict in Yemen led to a high number of fatalities among journalists − 11 in 2016 and 3 in 2017, many of whom died while covering hostilities. The countries where killings occurred in 2017 were: Mexico (13), Afghanistan (11), Iraq (8), the Syrian Arab Republic (7), India (5), Pakistan (4), the Philippines (4), Honduras (3), Somalia (3), Turkey (3), Yemen (3), the Dominican Republic (2), Nigeria (2), the Russian Federation (2), Bangladesh (1), Brazil (1), Colombia (1), Denmark (1), Guatemala (1), the Maldives (1), Malta (1), Myanmar (1), Peru (1), and South Sudan (1).

In 2016, killings occurred in: Afghanistan (13), Mexico (13), Yemen (11), Iraq (9), the Syrian Arab Republic (8), Guatemala (7), Brazil (5), India (5), Pakistan (4), Libya (3), Somalia (3), Turkey (3), Bangladesh (2), Finland (2), the Philippines (2), Burkina Faso (1), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1), El Salvador (1), Guinea (1), Honduras (1), Jordan (1), Myanmar (1), Peru (1), Serbia (1), South Sudan (1), Ukraine (1), and the United States of America (1).
3.2 Rise in number of women journalists among fatalities Men continue to represent an overwhelming majority (86% in 2017) of victims of fatal attacks against journalists. The percentage of female journalists (14% in 2017) killed is significantly lower than women’s overall representation among journalists. This may be due to the fact that fewer women journalists are working in dangerous areas and, at least in some regions, covering sensitive topics such as political corruption or organized crime. Recent research has suggested that prevailing stereotypes can sometimes prevent women journalists from being sent on assignments in in high-risk areas, which might contribute to this gap.12
Figure 4: Percentage of men and women among journalists killed in 2017 Women 14%
Men 86%
However, a trend already noticeable in previous years, namely the rising number of women journalists among killed media personnel, has continued. In 2017, UNESCO recorded the highest number of killed women journalists (11 victims) since the IPDC started reporting on killings of journalists in 2006. In 2016, there were 10 female victims compared to five in 2012. The percentage of women among the fatalities represented 14% in 2017, compared to 10% in 2016 and 4% in 2012.

Killings of women journalists occurred in 2016-2017 in all regions with the exception of Central and Eastern Europe. In the two-year period, two women were killed in Africa, four in the Arab Region, five in Asia and the Pacific, four in Latin America and the Caribbean, and six in Western Europe and North America. In 2016-2017, three incidents claimed the lives of multiple women journalists. An attack on the Afghan Television Channel Tolo News in Kabul in January 2016 killed seven media workers, among them three women. In September 2017, two Syrian journalists, a mother and daughter, were killed in their apartment in Istanbul. In December 2016, two Finnish women journalists, together with a local politician, were shot and killed by a lone gunman. In this case, the judicial process revealed that the victims had been chosen arbitrarily. Apart from killings, women journalists are also affected by gender-specific safety risks such as sexual harassment, sexual violence and threats of violence.13 Recent studies have shown that women journalists are particularly affected by online harassment.14 An analysis of the 70 million comments recorded by the Guardian between 1999 and 2016 showed that among the 10 staff journalists who received the highest level of abuse, eight were women, while the two others were black men.15 Harassment against women journalists often takes the form of personal attacks, which tend not to focus on the content of the journalist’s article or broadcast, but rather on the woman’s character or body parts, and in more extreme cases include threats of sexual violence. 16 In a 13

report published in 2018 by Trollbusters and the International Women’s Media Foundation, a survey conducted among 597 women journalists and media workers revealed that nearly two out of three respondents stated that they had been threatened or harassed online at least once. Among them, around 40 percent said they avoided reporting certain stories as a consequence of online harassment. Fifty-eight percent of the women journalists surveyed stated that they already been threatened or harassed in person, while 26% indicated that they had been physically attacked.17

Like in the preceding two-year period, TV journalists constituted the largest group among the victims. In 2017, almost half of the killed journalists (45%) were working in television outlets while in 2016, those working in this sector represented 34% of all victims. Among the TV journalists killed in 2016-2017, the majority were killed in countries currently experiencing conflict (55 out of 71 killed TV journalists). Nineteen TV journalists were killed in Afghanistan, 15 were killed in Iraq, six died in Syria and eight in Yemen. TV journalists, camera operators and support staff such as drivers and technicians regularly work from the frontlines and are therefore under high risk of being killed in crossfire or being targeted directly by parties to the conflict.
3.4 Majority of victims are local journalists A long-standing trend has been that local journalists covering local stories constitute by far the greatest number of victims. Attacks against international reporters tend to receive greater coverage in the media, but statistics show that in 2016-2017 less than one in 10 of the journalists killed was an international reporter. In 2017, local journalists represented 90% of

11
all killed journalists and in 2016, 94%. Of the 14 foreign victims in 2016-2017, half were killed in countries experiencing conflict.
3.5 Freelance and staff journalists In 2017, 21% of all killed journalists were freelancers. In 2016, this percentage was slightly lower, of 17%. Over the two-year period, 34 out of 182 journalists killed were freelancers, accounting for 19% of all fatalities -- the same percentage as in the previous two-year period. Compared to media staff, freelance journalists are widely considered more vulnerable since they often lack adequate protection and support from the media organization(s) they are working with. Freelance journalists frequently work alone and have more limited access to security training, insurance and equipment.
3.6 More killings occurring in countries with no armed conflict Figure 8: Number of journalists who were killed in countries currently experienceing armed conflict vs. in countries not currently experiencing armed conflict in 2016

Since 2014, UNESCO has observed a steady increase in the proportion of killings of journalists in countries not currently experiencing armed conflict, and in 2017 for the first time in recent years, more journalists (55%) were killed in these countries than in countries experiencing armed conflict. In 2016, the proportion of journalists that were killed in countries experiencing armed conflict and in countries not experiencing armed conflict was the same (50%).18
18
This takes in into account countries covered by the 13th and 14th reports of the Secretary-General on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. The countries are: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Libya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Ukraine, and Yemen (reports presented to the UN Security Council in May 2017 and May 2018).

This trend may be explained by the absence of new armed conflicts around the world and the decrease in the number of journalists reporting from long-running conflict areas.
4. Member States’ responses: status of the judicial enquiries on cases of journalists killed from 2006 to end 2017 Every year, the Director-General of UNESCO requests from Member States information on the judicial proceedings that have been undertaken in relation to each killing of a journalist or media worker that has been registered by the Organization. At its last session in 2016, the IPDC Council urged Member States to continue “to inform the Director-General of UNESCO, on a voluntary basis, on the status of the judicial inquiries conducted on each of the killings condemned by the Director-General” (IPDC Decision on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity 2016). In 2018, UNESCO sent a request for information to the 56 Member States in which UNESCO has recorded killings of journalists between 2006 and 2017, and for which UNESCO records
13
showed no information that the judicial cases had been resolved. In 2017, 62 Member States received such a request. The annual requests concern cases that, according to UNESCO’s records, are: - still ongoing or unresolved; - for which UNESCO has never received information; and - cases that occurred in the year previous to the request. The requests sent out to Member States in 2018 covered 893 out of the 1,010 killings that UNESCO recorded between 2006 and 2017. The remaining cases are those that UNESCO had already categorized as “resolved” or “archived”, based on the information submitted by Member States in previous years.19

4.1 Decrease in Member State response rate to Director-General’s request Out of the 56 Member States contacted in 2018 by UNESCO with a request to receive an update on the status of judicial enquiries on the killings of journalists, 36 provided a reply. Among these, 30 provided information on judicial procedures following killings of journalists in the country. Six Member States acknowledged receipt of the Director-General’s request and indicated that information would be sought from the capital concerned. These Member States thereby reflected a recognition of UNESCO’s reporting mechanism on the safety of journalists, but did not provide information on specific cases by the deadline for this report.2324

While in the last four years the response rate by affected Member States had been steadily increasing, from 27% in 2014 to a peak of 74% in 2017, 2018 was marked by a drop in the response rate, with only 64% of Member States providing a reply.

Overall, since UNESCO/IPDC’s reporting mechanism on the safety of journalists was launched in 2008, out of the 72 Member States that were contacted at least once by UNESCO on cases that occurred between 2006 and 2017, six Member States have never responded.25 The IPDC Intergovernmental Council, in its 2012 Decision on the Safety of Journalists, called on the Director-General of UNESCO to “make available on UNESCO’s website, upon request of the Member States concerned, information officially provided for killings of journalists condemned by the Director-General”, for transparency purposes. The responses of Member States that have agreed to make public the information provided on the status of judicial followup have been published on UNESCO’s database on the killings of journalists, along with the statement of the Director-General condemning the killing. They can be accessed here: https://en.unesco.org/unesco-condemns-killing-of-journalists/list. Nineteen of the 36 Member States that provided a response (including acknowledgements) to UNESCO in 2018, or 53%, agreed to make their response public.
4.2 Slight reduction in impunity rate, but 89% of cases remain unresolved Cumulatively, since UNESCO’s reporting mechanism on the safety of journalists was launched, the Organization has received information from Member States on 655 of the 1010 cases condemned by the Director-General between 2006 and 2017. Among these, 115 cases 25
These countries are: Central African Republic, Guyana, Libya, Mali, South Sudan, and Yemen.

have been judicially resolved according to the information provided by the national authorities of the country, representing an overall resolution rate of 11%.26 27
Figure 12: Percentage of cases resolved out of all cases condemned by the Director-General (2006-2017) Resolved cases 11%
Unresolved/no information 89%
In 54% of all cases, Member States reported that a judicial procedure was either still underway or that the case was archived or unresolved. For the remaining 35% of all cases, representing 355 journalists’ killings, the affected Member States have never provided information on the judicial follow-up.

26
Please see Annex A for a detailed explanation on UNESCO methodology in categorizing responses. 27 If one considers only those cases for which UNESCO received information, the resolution rate amounts to 18%.
20
Based on the information received from Member States, the highest rate of resolution of cases of killings of journalists is in Western Europe and North America, with 56% of cases (or 14 of 25 cases) reported as resolved. In Central and Eastern Europe, the resolution rate is 43%, with 17 of 40 cases reported as resolved. These two regions with the lowest impunity rate are also those in which the least killings of journalists have been recorded. The highest rate of impunity appears to be in the Arab States region, which also records the top number of killings worldwide, with only 1.5% of cases reported as resolved. This high rate may to a large extent be explained by the fact that many of the killings in this region occurred in conflict situations, making it more difficult at least in the short term to identify the perpetrators and to complete a judicial enquiry. In Latin America and the Caribbean, 18% of cases (41 out of 226) have been reported as resolved, and in Africa 15 % (16 out of 117). In Asia and the Pacific region, the resolution rate drops to 8% (22 out of 264), based on the information provided by Member States.

4.3 Member States reporting on measures to promote safety of journalists and to combat impunity
21
Since 2017, UNESCO includes in its letters to Member States an invitation to report on “actions taken by [the] country to promote the safety of journalists and to combat impunity, as a way to share good practices”, and “highlighting the specific risks faced by women journalists in the exercise of their work.” This request arises from the 2016 IPDC Decision on Safety of Journalists and 39 C/Resolution 39 of the General Conference, and it allows UNESCO to share good practices undertaken by its Member States to improve safety of journalists in the respective countries. In 2018, 15 Member States - representing 42% of the Member States which responded this year to the Director-General’s request - included in their reply information on concrete actions taken to improve safety of journalists. These countries were (in alphabetical order): Afghanistan, Brazil, Denmark, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Malta, Mexico, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia and the United States of America. Member States reported a wide range of steps taken to monitor, prevent, protect against, and prosecute crimes against journalists:28 Monitoring crimes against journalists Several Member States informed UNESCO of the setting up of monitoring mechanisms to track attacks against journalists (for example: Afghanistan, Brazil, Guatemala, Pakistan). Guatemala reported the establishment of an entity to analyse attacks against human rights defenders as well as journalists in order to develop guidelines for a more effective prevention of future attacks. Prevention of crimes against journalists Steps to prevent attacks against journalists have included: establishing an emergency call line for journalists and human rights defenders under threat (for example: Guatemala); the elaboration of special programmes, policies or protocols for the protection of journalists and/or human rights defenders (for example: Brazil, Honduras, Pakistan); and awareness-raising campaigns on the safety of journalists (reported by: Kyrgyzstan and the United States of America). Protection of journalists against attacks Furthermore, Member States provided information on efforts to protect journalists from attacks such as: providing training to security guards of media houses (reported by Pakistan), appointing focal points on safety of journalists in different police departments (Pakistan) and providing support through national security forces (reported by Afghanistan). Safety trainings for journalists were also highlighted as a means to provide journalists with skills to better protect themselves both off-line and online (for example this was reported by: Denmark, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria and the United States of America). Prosecution of crimes against journalists
28
Please note that the following section includes only examples of measures taken by Member States and does not include the full account given by each Member State. For those Member States that have agreed to make their response public, more details on these measures can be found here: https://en.unesco.org/unesco-condemns-killing-of-journalists/list.
22
Several Member States (for example: Honduras, Mexico and Pakistan) reported the establishment of special investigation and/or prosecution mechanisms dedicated to ensuring prosecution of crimes against journalists. Guatemala referred to the development, in collaboration with UNESCO, of training modules for judges and magistrates on freedom of expression and the safety of journalists. In Afghanistan, a special committee comprising security agencies and the national journalists’ federation was set up within the auspices of the Ministry of Information to assess the feasibility of prosecuting cases of violence against journalists. Malta informed of a €1 million reward offered by the Government for information leading to the capture of the perpetrator(s) of the killing of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. Other measures reported by Member States Responses from a number of Member States reflected a recognition that the complexity of the issue of journalists’ safety requires a holistic, coordinated response with the involvement of a range of actors. A number of Member States reported the establishment of multi-stakeholder committees, working groups or coalitions which bring together representatives of government, security services, civil society and the media in order to discuss and take forward measures that promote the safety of journalists and/or human rights defenders (for example: Afghanistan, Brazil, Denmark, Guatemala, Kenya, Pakistan, Somalia). Other Member States such as Honduras, Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar provided information on multi-stakeholder conferences or meetings on safety-related issues. At the global level, Member States such as Denmark and Greece listed their involvement in platforms such as the Group of Friends for the Safety of Journalists at UNESCO in Paris, the UN headquarters in New York, and/or the OSCE in Vienna. Greece also referred to a side-event it co-organized on 3 May 2018 at UN Headquarters in New York, together with France and Lithuania, on the protection of journalists and media workers. The funding of projects related to the safety of journalists was another measure mentioned (for example, by Denmark), as well as liaising with embassies to encourage reporting to UNESCO by concerned Member States on judicial follow-up into the killings of journalists (also Denmark). Some Member States reported on recent legal reforms aimed at fostering freedom of expression (for example: Afghanistan, Malta, and Pakistan). Replies to the Director-General request included measures led and implemented by other local actors such as journalists’ unions, universities and civil society. Addressing safety of women journalists A small number of Member States reported on concrete measures taken to address the specific risks faced by women journalists in the exercise of their work. Denmark indicated that the Danish Union of Journalists has developed a dedicated policy for dealing with gender equality issues in the media, particularly safety of women journalists on and off-line. Kenya reported on specific safety training sessions for women journalists and two Member States informed that quotas to ensure the participation of women journalists were in place for general safety trainings for journalists. Some Member States referred to legislation guaranteeing equal rights to women and men.

5. Conclusion Killings of journalists continue to occur the world over and these deaths shine a light on the extreme risks that can be faced by the individuals in this profession. In 2016 and 2017, 182 journalists and media workers were killed, with killings taking place in every region. While 2016-2017 lists slightly lower numbers than in the two previous years, there is no reason to conclude that this necessarily marks a sustainable downwards trend in killings of journalists. As of 09 October 2018, the number of deaths that occurred this year had already reached 80.29 Over the last 12 years, UNESCO has recorded 1,010 killings worldwide, out of which only 115 were followed by a judicial procedure that led to the conviction of one or multiple perpetrators. Impunity for killings of journalists has slightly decreased, but remains extremely high, with a large majority of 89% of cases unresolved. Impunity for crimes against journalists emboldens attackers and leads to self-censorship in the profession and among the public. The overall effect is to impede all other efforts towards free expression and freedom of the press. All this thwarts progress towards “public access to information and fundamental freedoms” which is an agreed target for the world in Sustainable Development Goal 16.10. After a continuous increase in the response rate of Member States to the Director-General’s request since 2014 through 2017, the response rate dropped significantly in 2018. Since UNESCO’s reporting on the status of judicial procedures is based on information supplied by Member States, a high response rate is essential to provide an accurate picture of judicial follow-up of killings of journalists. It is also to be noted that the killing of journalists, the ultimate form of censorship, is just the tip of an iceberg of attacks against journalists, which range from non-lethal physical attacks, kidnapping, illegal detention, threats, harassment off-line and online, to retaliations on family members. Increasing the safety of journalists worldwide and combating impunity for crimes against journalists thus remain key issues that need to be addressed with a concerted effort by all stakeholders involved.

Killings condemned by the the Director-General of UNESCO Director-General as at 24 September 2018.

Annexes Annex A: Mandate of the Director-General and methodology The information in this report on the status of the investigations carried out on each of the killings condemned by the Director-General is based solely on the updates provided by concerned Member States. The cases of killings of journalists are systematically condemned by Director-General of UNESCO through press releases. General Conference 29 C/Resolution 29 (1997) mandates the Director-General to “condemn assassination and any physical violence against journalists as a crime against society, since this curtails freedom of expression and, as a consequence, the other rights and freedoms set forth in international human rights instruments”. This mandate has been reinforced by other resolutions, such as General Conference 36 C/Resolution 53 (2011), which calls on UNESCO to monitor the status of press freedom and safety of journalists in coordination with other UN bodies. The information provided by Member States has been analyzed for the purpose of this study and categorized as follows: 1. “Resolved” The status of a case regarding the killing of a journalist is considered as “Resolved” if the Member State has provided one or more of the following responses to the Director-General’s request to provide information concerning the status of the investigation: a) The perpetrator(s) of the crime has (/have) been brought to justice and been convicted by a court of law. b) The suspected perpetrator(s) of the crime died before a court case could take place or be completed. c) The judicial process has revealed that the death was not related to the victim’s journalistic practice. The Director-General no longer requests status updates once a case is deemed to have been resolved.
2. “Ongoing/Unresolved” The status of a case regarding the killing of a journalist is considered as “Ongoing/Unresolved” if the Member State has provided one of the following responses to the Director-General’s request to provide information concerning the status of the investigation: a) The case is currently being investigated by law enforcement agencies or other relevant authorities. b) The case has been taken up by the judicial system but a final verdict has not yet been reached and the suspect(s) has (/have) not been convicted and sentenced. The “Ongoing/Unresolved” category also applies to cases where only one of the suspected killers has been convicted and sentenced.
25
c) The journalist has been reported by the Member State as having been killed by foreign actors beyond national jurisdiction. d) A court of law has acquitted the suspected perpetrator(s) of the crime (for example due to lack of or tampered evidence). e) A court of law has ruled to archive the case or is otherwise unable to be processed through the judiciary system (for example, due to statutes of limitations). This category therefore also includes those cases for which a judicial process has been completed, but where no person(s) has (/have) yet been successfully held accountable in terms of due legal process, and hence where impunity in regard to the killing(s) still remains unresolved. The Director-General continues to request status updates for all of the above cases, except in the instances where it is explicitly mentioned that the case has been judicially archived. 3. “No information received so far” “No information received so far” is used if the Member State has never provided information to UNESCO on the status of the investigation, whether this year or in previous years. ‘Acknowledgments’, as described on page 18, are included in this category insofar as they do not include any specific information on the judicial follow-up into the cases of killings of journalists condemned by the Director-General. The Director-General continues to request status updates for such cases.
