Two small nations with outsized levels of impunity—Haiti and Israel—are the world’s top offenders in allowing the murderers of journalists to go unpunished. Globally, impunity remains entrenched, as no one is held to account in almost 80% of the cases where journalists have been directly targeted in retaliation for their work, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists’ 2024 Global Impunity Index.
Haiti, which first appeared on the index in 2023, is challenged by criminal gangs that are overtaking the country and destabilizing already weak institutions, including the judiciary. Its rise to the top of CPJ’s index—which was launched in 2008—follows the unsolved murders of seven journalists within the 10-year period index period for 2024.
Israel, ranked second, has landed on the index for the first time following a failure to hold anyone to account in the targeted killing of five journalists in Gaza and Lebanon in a year of relentless war. All of the murdered journalists were reporting on the war and three of the five were wearing press vests at the time they were killed. CPJ is investigating the possible targeted murders of at least 10 additional journalists. Given the challenges of documenting the war, the number may be far higher. Overall, Israel has killed a record number of Palestinian journalists since the war began on October 7, 2023. Deliberately targeting journalists, who are civilians in any conflict, is a war crime.

🔖 CPJ 2024 Impunity Index

I leverage some quotes from Chris Sidoti (a Commissioner on the UN Human Rights Council’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including East Jerusalem, and Israel) his shared press conference today.

“what gets me most, is the killing of kids”

“kids aren’t terrorists”

“and yet what has happened since then, we have had thousands and thousands of kids killed”

Press conference by Navanethem Pillay and Chris Sidoti, Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel on the legal analysis and recommendations on implementation of the International Court of Justice.

“the conflict in Gaza is an Israeli terrorist creation factory, and there is no sign of it finishing”

“the foundation is the law”

“there ain’t no higher than the ICJ”

In March 2024, the Human Rights Council passed two resolutions, in which it requested the Commission of Inquiry to present reports to the Human Rights Council at its fifty-ninth session in June 2025 on (i) settlers and settler groups involved in acts of terror, violence or intimidation against Palestinian civilians and the actions taken by Israel and third States to ensure accountability for violations of international law (A/HRC/RES/55/32); and (ii) the transfer or sale of arms, munitions, parts, components and dual use items to Israel (including those used during the Israeli military operation in Gaza since 7 October 2023) and analyze legal consequences of these transfers, including those related to State responsibility (A/HRC/RES/55/28).

General Assembly | Cuba

The General Assembly today reiterated its call on the United States to end its economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba, as Cuba’s Minister for Foreign Affairs called the blockade against his Government “commercial warfare” and “a crime of genocide”.
The 193-member Assembly adopted its annual resolution on the “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba” (document A/79/L.6), by a recorded vote of 187 in favour and 2 against (United States, Israel), with 1 abstention (Republic of Moldova). It began its debate on the topic on Tuesday. (See Press Release GA/12549).
By the terms of today’s adopted resolution, the Assembly urged other States that have and continue to apply laws or measures in support of the blockade on Cuba to repeal or invalidate them as soon as possible.
“How long will this go on?” Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, Cuba’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, asked the Assembly, recalling that the body has urged for an end to the blockade since 1992.

“That said, we recognize the challenges the Cuban people face. That is why U.S. sanctions include exemptions and authorizations relating to exports of food, medicine, and other basic goods to Cuba.

The United States remains a significant source of basic goods to the Cuban people. In 2023, the United States exported nearly $336 million in agricultural products and authorized another $100 billion in humanitarian exports, demonstrating America’s desire to help the Cuban people.”

- Ambassador Paul Folmsbee

The damage done to Cuba since the blockade was imposed some 62 years ago amounts to $1.499 trillion, considering the United States dollar value against the gold price, he said. During the last 18 years of the blockade, Cuba has lost $252 trillion.
“Imperialism is warning the whole world that any nation daring to firmly defend its sovereignty and to build its own future will pay a price for that rebelliousness,” he added.
