The Impunity Project was created to end impunity for attacks against journalists
in the Americas. The Inter-American Press Association is one of very
few organizations making this work one of its main agendas. Over the past
18 years there have been 299 journalists murdered in the Americas. Since the
start of the Impunity Project, the IAPA has deeply investigated 57 murder
cases. There have been 63 sentences in 25 of those cases. The number of jail
sentences for crimes against journalists in the Americas has more than
doubled because of the IAPA effort.
