The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists (IDEI) is UN-recognised international day observed annually on 2 November.

This day highlights the persistently high level of impunity for crimes committed against journalists worldwide. According to the UNESCO observatory, between 2006 and 2024, more than 1,700 journalists were killed globally, with nearly 90% of these cases remaining unsolved in the courts. As journalists play a critical role in reporting facts to all citizens, impunity for attacks against them has a particularly damaging impact, limiting public awareness and constructive debate.

Belarus is one of the leading countries on number of imprisoned journalists. Therefore, to mark the IDEI, the Council of Europe Project “Strengthening the capacities and skills of Belarusian journalists and media actors in exile” has supported production of four animated videos about imprisoned journalists in Belarus.
