ECPMF has joined a group of organisations to express concern at the lack of implementation of the recommendations of the milestone Public Inquiry into the assassination of Malta’s leading investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia.
RSF and a coalition of organisations are concerned at the lack of implementation of the recommendations of the milestone Public Inquiry into the assassination of Malta’s leading investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia. On the first anniversary of the Public Inquiry report’s publication, the coalition urges the Maltese authorities to comply with their international human rights obligations and implement the recommendations without further delay to ensure effective protection of journalists going forward.
In its report the Board of Inquiry made a number of key recommendations to restore the rule of law and avoid an assassination like that of Daphne Caruana Galizia ever happening again. The recommendations provided an historic opportunity for the Government of Malta to implement its international human rights obligations to create a safe environment for journalism.
