Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed journalists, and advocates of press freedom,

Dear colleagues of the UN, Globe International Center, the National Human Rights Commission, the Mongolian Bar Association, the Association of Judges, the Association of Advocates, Amnesty International Mongolia, the Press Institute and UNESCO Mongolia National Commission, 

 On November 29, 2024, The Globe International Center successfully organized a training titled "Gender-Sensitive Policy and Media" with UNESCO's financial support and in collaboration with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). 

Dear UN colleagues, representatives of the Mongolian journalism and media,  

Dear Ms. Naranjargal, 

I very much welcome this event on the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day 2024. This day is a valuable opportunity for all of us to be reminded of the critical role of independent media for democracy and of the importance to uphold people’s right to access quality, fact-based information. This day should contribute to foster a whole-of-society approach in defending free and independent media, at a time where they are threatened by a growing number of abusive laws under the guise of national security, counter-terrorism or fighting ‘fake news’.

On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day, the Globe International Center in collaboration with the Mongolian National Commission for UNESCO, the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications, with the support of the National Human Rights Commission, the European Union, and the Open Society Forum organizing a multidisciplinary discussion "A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the face of the Environmental Crisis" on May 3, 2024 at 10:00-13:00 in the conference hall of the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs.
