2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Judges Initiative by UNESCO. Operating in over 160 countries, this innovative program offers comprehensive and practical training tools to members of the judiciary, in order to strengthen knowledge and capacities on regional and international standards on freedom of expression, access to information and the safety of journalists.
By providing judicial actors with a better understanding of their role in the protection of freedom of expression, UNESCO aims to foster the rule of law and support justice systems to become more aware on how to protect journalists against attacks and prosecute the crimes against them.
