                              Yesterday was the International Day to End 
Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. It is an opportunity to recognize 
the crucial work journalists do in support of democracy, freedom of 
expression and information, and human rights around the world. 
Unfortunately, according to the UNESCO observatory, since the beginning of 
2021, over 100 journalists have been killed and many more were attacked, 
harassed or unlawfully imprisoned. Furthermore, woman journalists have been 
disproportionately impacted by this trend, as 73 percent of the women 
journalists surveyed, said they had been threatened, intimidated, and 
insulted online in connection with their work. Finally, the United Nations 
has emphasized the important role of prosecutorial services, not only in 
bringing killers to justice, but also prosecuting threats of violence.
