International Day to End Impunity: Key Facts & Messages

By the International Freedom of Expression eXchange (IFEX)

What is the International Day to End Impunity?

The International Day to End Impunity was launched by IFEX on 23 November 2011. It is a day dedicated to a call to action — to demand justice for those who have been targeted for exercising their right to freedom of expression, and to shed light on the issue of impunity.

What is the focus of the 2012 International Day to End Impunity?

In 2012, IFEX is highlighting the culture of impunity by profiling individuals who have been the target of threats, violent attacks, torture and blackmail, where international attention could provide a measure of protection. The day’s focus extends to all types of free expression, encompassing activists, artists, cartoonists, filmmakers, journalists, musicians, social media users, and writers.
This year’s campaign launches on 1 November 2012.
