Phl ranks 9th in journalist killings Impunity Index
The Philippine Star
|November 01, 2024
Justice remains elusive for many journalists killed in the Philippines and elsewhere in the world.
For the 17th consecutive year, the Philippines is again on the list of countries where killers of journalists will likely go unpunished.
The Global Impunity Index, first launched by the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in 2008, ranks countries based on unsolved murders of journalists in the past decade in proportion to population.
The Philippines is among the six that have consistently appeared on the list year after year. The others were Somalia, Iraq, Mexico, Pakistan and India.
From eighth last year, the Philippines ranked ninth out of 13 countries in this year's index.
