Paúl Rivas was an #Ecuadorian journalist. He was murdered in 2018. His killers didn't want him to keep you informed. But now you can make Paúl's voice heard by sharing his story, by spreading the word, by letting the World know that #TruthNeverDies! For over the past 12 years, more than a 1000 journalists were murdered because they strived to inform us. In 9 out of 10 cases, the perpetrators are not brought to justice. The time to #EndImpunity is now. #EndImpunity #JournoSafe #UNESCO#Journalism #Democracy #HumanRights #Article19 #Justice #toronto #nyc #washingtondc Video by: @oneshotnow (at The City of Brampton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOIzc1FhiI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=asvkpxmgle2w

IMPUNITY BREEDS IMPUNITY. This is injustice for all. Since 2006, UNESCO has condemned the killing of more than 800 journalists. Less than 8% of these crimes committed have been solved. In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever effects one directly affects all indirectly.” Impunity is a crime against the exercise of freedom of expression and human rights more broadly. It emboldens the perpetrators of crimes, it threatens the rule of law, and it leads to fear and self-censorship. All society suffers. More than ever, we must do everything to protect journalists and fight against impunity. We need to deepen efforts to prevent violence against journalists, to enhance the protection of journalists in danger, and to prosecute perpetrators of attacks.  We encourage everyone to stand with UNESCO in condemning every fatal attack against a journalist, in calling for full investigation of such crimes, in demanding appropriate punishment for those committing these violations. We must all do more. * #ENDImpunity for Violence Against #Journalists campaign 2016 is launched.

Too many journalists are paying with their lives for keeping society informed. Each week, on average, a journalist dies while doing his or her job. Yet, over the past 10 years, only 1 in 10 cases of crimes against journalists, media workers, and social media producers has led to a conviction. Freedom of expression is a human right. In today's digital age, we must remember that this human right applies to all media. (via United Nations Facebook page)

I really wish I still worked the UN so I could have attended this conference/meeting. The stream is pretty boring as are most UN conferences (unless Macedonia and Greece get into a fight) but I would've loved to meet some of these people.
