End Impunity
End Impunity: A Fight To End The Silence Of The Journalist
A. Background of the Study
Impunity means exemption from punishment or loss or escape from fines or punishment. It is when the crimes committed go unpunished, and offenders enjoy exemption from the consequences of their misdeeds. Many innocent people hasn’t receive the justice they deserve because the offenders are protected by their right of impunity and this is not only happening in the Philippines but also worldwide. In the past 20 years, more than 700 journalists have been killed 75 of these deaths are from the Philippines and because of these Philippines is considered as the second deadliest country for journalist and media personnel next to Iraq but really this isn’t a very good title for our country. Aside from that, although journalist aren’t killed but countless more of them are still being harassed, beaten, imprisoned, intimidated and threatened. Journalist or should I say all of the people have the right to Life wherein nobody is allowed to hurt them for whatever reason they have and there is no significance of this right of impunity why are they needed to be protected? Just because they are in authority that does not mean that they shouldn’t be punished of their misdeeds well in fact in the eyes of God and the government we are all equal only the statuses differ so they should scrape the right of impunity because it only delays the justice and suppresses the other rights of people especially of the right to life and right to freedom of expression of the journalists. We choose this study because we want to fight to stop this so called “right to Impunity” that only leads those people granted this right to abuse it and harm other people. This fight can help for all people to have equal rights that can’t harm other people and we will all have better quality of life.
