In search of protection, justice and the truth: journalists’ responses to impunity in Mexico and Honduras
This paper summarises a recent study offering a qualitative, comparative, bottom-up exploration of journalists’ responses to impunity for violence against journalists in two Latin American countries where this problem is particularly egregious, Mexico and Honduras. It provides a critique of international relations and politics debates on the value of international human rights law and norms to local civil society groups and actors.
Via thematic analysis of interviews with journalist-human rights defenders and protection actors, the author shows that journalists use interlinked strategies to seek justice and protection.
