Annual CPJ Impunity Index

The Annual CPJ Impunity Index measures how often killers of journalists go unpunished in different countries. It highlights where violence against journalists is not adequately investigated or prosecuted. A higher index score indicates a greater level of impunity, meaning crimes against journalists are more likely to go unresolved. This index helps to identify regions where press freedom is most threatened by violence and impunity, emphasizing the need for justice and accountability to protect journalists and promote a free press.
