UN General Assembly adopts resolution on journalists safety



UN General Assembly adopts resolution on journalists safety

Reporters Without Borders hails the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of its first resolution on the safety of journalists and the issue of impunity and on the creation of an International Day to End Impunity for crimes against journalists on November 2.

Adopted today by consensus by the Third Committee, this resolution meets calls that Reporters Without Borders has been making for years, in particular, in connection with the United Nations Plan of Action, and which it reaffirmed after the recent tragic death of two French journalists in Mali.
