A/HRC/20/22 encourages all relevant United Nations actors to pay continued and increased attention to the safety of journalists and to seek the implementation of international standards from States. Collaboration in this regard—also among the relevant United Nations special procedures and between the United Nations and regional procedures—is of particular importance. 126. The Inter-Agency Meeting on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity, organized by UNESCO, should be held on a regular basis in order to explore possible avenues for cooperation and enhance coordination between the various United Nations agencies to address the issue of journalists’ safety and combat the impunity of perpetrators of crimes against them. Constant information-sharing among all relevant United Nations bodies and agencies could constitute an early warning system against dangers to the right to life and physical safety of journalists. 127. The Human Rights Council should follow up on the recommendations formulated during the first cycle of the universal periodic review regarding the safety of journalists, reiterate the recommendations that have not been implemented, and formulate additional recommendations where appropriate. Violations of the right to life of journalists should be further addressed and given increased attention at the regular and special sessions of the Human Rights Council. 128. The adoption of Security Council resolution 1738 (2006), in which the Council called on all parties to an armed conflict to fulfil their obligations towards journalists under international law, is a positive step. More awareness should be raised around this resolution, and the Secretary-General could make increased use of the opportunity the resolution offers to report on the deaths of journalists in armed conflict to the Security Council. 129. United Nations field presences should strengthen activities of technical assistance for national Governments in implementing domestic protection mechanisms in consultation with all stakeholders, and disseminate good practices to other States and field offices. Recommendations to regional organizations 130. The Special Rapporteur welcomes and draws attention to regional human rights initiatives and in particular the work of various regional mechanisms in respect of the protection of the right to life of journalists. In addition to the general contribution they make to the protection of journalists, these bodies also offer specific entry points which can and should be accessed by journalists who consider themselves to be in immediate danger, in order to obtain protective measures. Some of these are listed in the emergency contact details document mentioned in paragraph 96 above. The Inter-American system, although it faces challenges, is the leader in respect of precautionary measures, and the other systems will do well to study that experience. 131. The European Court of Human Rights is a leader in respect of the norms applicable to accountability and fair trial, and the other international bodies are encouraged to take heed of its jurisprudence. 132. Regional human rights bodies are encouraged to put the issue of the safety of journalists on the agenda through resolutions, declarations or other similar instruments; to bring the matter to the attention of the regional intergovernmental organizations of which they form a part; and to engage with it in their respective procedures, especially through interim or precautionary measures. 21
