Decision Trees

Human Wrongs Watch

2 November 2020 (UN News)* — Even though 2020 saw a “slight decrease” in the rate of impunity for crimes against journalists, 87 per cent of such cases worldwide were still not resolved, UNESCO, the UN agency tasked with defending press freedom, has reported.

According to UNESCO, journalism remains a dangerous profession, and in 2018-19, like in previous years, TV and local journalists were most vulnerable to violent attacks.

According to the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity, a report by the Director-General of UNESCO, only 13 per cent of cases globally involving crimes against journalists were reported “as resolved”, in comparison to 12 per cent in 2019, and 11 per cent in 2018.

Human Wrongs Watch

(UN News)* — When journalists are targeted, “societies as a whole pay a price”, the UN chief said on Monday [2 November 2020], the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.

UNESCO | Stop killing journalists.

“If we do not protect journalists, our ability to remain informed and make evidence-based decisions is severely hampered”, Secretary-General António Guterres spelled out in his message for the day.  

And when they cannot safely do their jobs, “we lose an important defense against the pandemic of misinformation and disinformation that has spread online”, he added.

Human Wrongs Watch

By Lynn Sebastian Purcell*

30 October 2020 (THE CONVERSATION)* — Growing up in the United States, I remember on Halloween my mother used to say, “Honey, this is not just a day for costumes and candy. You must also remember your relatives. Know their names.” She would show me pictures of great-aunts, uncles and other deceased relatives.

31 October 2020 — (Wall Street International)* — On September 4, 1970, at the height of the Cold War, an unprecedented page was written in the history of Chile and of the world’s left: For the first time, in a distant Third World country, but one with a solid democracy, a Marxist candidate supported by a left-wing coalition – the Unidad Popular (Popular Unity) – whose central axis were the socialist and communist parties, triumphed in the presidential elections.
