The session, commemorating the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, will focus on how to strengthen investigations and prosecutions for crimes and attacks against journalists. During the session, the Guidelines for Prosecutors on Cases of Crimes against Journalists, developed by UNESCO and the International Association of Prosecutors, will be launched.

Through encouraging the exchange of best practices and identifying concrete initiatives, the session will aim at strengthening the fight against impunity and will set this issue in the larger framework to protect fundamental human rights and the realization of Sustainable Development, particularly SDG 16.10 to ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms.
