A seminar organized by the Qatar Press Center and the Syrian Media Club discussed the challenges of protecting journalists and holding their attackers accountable. It stressed the need to turn documentation of violations into evidence-backed legal cases, and to strengthen training, protection, and legal and psychological support for journalists. According to a UNESCO report issued on November 2, 2026, perpetrators go unpunished in 86% of journalist killings worldwide, up from 85%. The organization documented the killing of 189 journalists in 2024 and 2025, including 127 in conflict zones; 50 of those journalists were killed in drone attacks. Participants underscored the importance of independent investigations, preserving evidence, and holding those responsible to account. They also emphasized the responsibility of media organizations and legal bodies to protect journalists and safeguard the public’s right to know.
