The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) mandates that journalists should be safe in both conflict and non-conflict situations – but this wish is not always a reality. Despite both having constitutionally-granted press freedoms, journalists in Mexico and Guatemala are routinely threatened, targeted, or attacked for exposing corruption amidst government agencies. As such, collusion between government officials and non-state violent actors pose a great threat to the safety of all journalists, an issue that must be addressed. These nations must collaborate with one another to ensure that the lives of journalists are protected while also combating root issues of corruption and collusion. In this Joint Crisis Committee, delegates will represent members of the cabinets of Mexico and Guatemala–two of the world’s most dangerous places to be a journalist–to respond to crises and adopt new policies surrounding the rights of the press.
