May 3rd is World Press Freedom Day.

The 2023 year marks the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day.

The proliferation of independent media in many countries and the rise of digital technologies have enabled the free flow of information.

However, media freedom, the safety of journalists, and freedom of expression are increasingly under attack, which impacts the fulfillment of other human rights.

The international community faces multiple crises: conflicts and violence, persistent socio-economic inequalities driving migration, environmental crises, and challenges to the health and well-being of people all around the world.

At the same time, disinformation and misinformation online and offline proliferate, with a serious impact on the institutions underpinning democracy, the rule of law, and human rights.
