Professor Harrison, Chair of CFOM, presented insights from CFOM’s data collection at a technical meeting to help analyse how UNESCO could broaden its global reporting on Sustainable Development Goal 16.10.1, Monitoring the adoption and implementation of constitutional, statutory and/or policy guarantees and mechanisms for public access to information. The indicator covers “the number of verified cases of killing, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, arbitrary detention and torture of journalists and associated media personnel” in the previous 12 months. CFOM collated academic responses from worldwide and wrote up responses that were then presented as headline findings and contributed to sections 3.5, 3.5.1, 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 in the Report that was published on the multi-stakeholder Consultation and be found here. As Professor Harrison stated on CFOM’s involvement: “The important aspect of this was to stress the role that academia could play in the implementation of the UN Action Plan and make it more specific and concrete.” An outcome document detailing short and medium term strategic types and areas of action was also published and can be found here.
