Baroness Helena Kennedy of the Shaws QC, member of the High Level Panel of Legal Experts on Media Freedom gives a keynote speech at the opening hearing of the People's Tribunal on the Murder of Journalists in The Hague:

In an unprecedented effort to seek justice, Free Press Unlimited, Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists have established a People's Tribunal on the Murder of Journalists as part of the A Safer World For The Truth initiative to investigate and hold governments accountable. 

The Tribunal, a form of grassroots justice, relies on investigations and high quality legal analysis involving specific cases in three countries.

The opening hearing, convened in The Hague, introduces impunity for the murders of journalists as a systemic issue. The Prosecution hears witnesses and presents evidence on global developments, the role of states, and the impact of impunity on journalists and people’s right to information.
