• Resumen

  • On 30 April 2014, the Council of Europe�s Committee of Ministers (CM) adopted a Declaration on the protection of journalism and safety of journalists and other media actors. The Declaration�s point of departure is the observation that:

    �Journalists and other media actors in Europe are increasingly being harassed, intimidated, deprived of their liberty, physically attacked and even killed because of their investigative work, opinions or reporting. These abuses and crimes are often met with insufficient efforts by relevant State authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice, which leads to a culture of impunity� (para. 1).
