The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, which is celebrated on November 2, is intended to draw the world's attention to the serious problem of attacks on professional journalists and impunity for their offenders. This day recalls the importance of freedom of the press and freedom of speech as fundamental pillars of a democratic society. Global organizations and human rights groups use this day to actively support and highlight victims, and to demand justice and punishment for those responsible in cases of crimes against journalists. The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists reminds us of the importance of protecting the rights of journalists to ensure an informed public and the preservation of democratic values.
