“All freedom depends on press freedom. Without it, there can be no human rights, no sustainable development and no peace,” said
#UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres.
Highlighting the risks media workers face around the world — including censorship, surveillance, legal harassment and even death — the Secretary-General called for stronger protection of journalists’ rights and for building a world where truth, and those who speak it, are safe.
unesco works to address threats to press freedom, including violence against journalists, legal harassment, misinformation and censorship.
