IBAHRI Showcase: the attack on media freedom - a growing phenomenon
This session at the IBA s Virtually Together Conference launched the fourth report by the High Level Panel of Legal Experts on Media Freedom to which the IBA s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) acts as Secretariat. The report author, Nadim Houry, was joined by members of the High Level Panel and other legal experts to explore media freedom in crisis and the report s recommendations.
Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, IBAHRI Director: This is a global project that was created two years ago by the British government with the Canadian government. We ve seen over the last two years that over 100 journalists have been killed. But it isn t just the murder of journalists that s horrifying the world - it s the extent to which journalists are put in fear.
