Thirty years after the historic free, independent and pluralistic press summit held in Windhoek, Namibia, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has decided to return the conference to its birthplace.
The World Press Freedom Day has its origins from that conference held in 1991. The summit ended on May 3 with adoption of the landmark Windhoek declaration for the development of a free, independent and pluralistic press.
According to UNESCO, the 30th anniversary will be celebrated in conjunction with World Press Freedom Day (WPFD) from April 29 to May 3, 2021 in the Namibian capital. The conference, which is hosted by UNESCO and the Government of Namibia, will be a digital experience combining both virtual and physical participation.
