At an event marking the International Day to End Impunity, organised jointly by France, Germany and the Netherlands in collaboration with Freedom Network, officials and media representatives reaffirmed their commitment to journalist safety and a free, reliable press. The gathering highlighted the ongoing need to address impunity for attacks against reporters and to strengthen protections that allow independent reporting to continue without fear.
Speakers underlined that sustained cooperation between diplomatic missions, civil society and media organisations is essential to uphold journalist safety. The partners reiterated support for measures that promote accountability and for initiatives that ensure journalists can work safely while delivering trustworthy news to the public.
The International Day to End Impunity serves as a reminder of the importance of transparent, reliable journalism for democratic debate and public trust. For Pakistani journalists and newsrooms, these international commitments reinforce calls for tangible steps to reduce risks faced by reporters and to preserve the integrity of information available to citizens.
Organisers encouraged continued dialogue and practical collaboration so that stated commitments translate into concrete actions that improve protection for journalists and strengthen press freedom across the country.
