November 2 is observed annually as the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. The United Nations General Assembly officially declared this day in 2013 through Resolution A/RES/68/163. It commemorates the assassination of two French journalists in Mali on November 2, 2013. The observance aims to raise awareness about violence against journalists and encourage governments to investigate attacks and hold those responsible accountable. It also highlights the importance of press freedom, freedom of expression and the public's right to information. The 2026 theme is "Threats Evolve, Impunity Persists."
