In spite of being illegal under international human rights law, actors involved in illegal surveillance are almost never held accountable.
The other good news is that we have a lot to draw on, on our side. There is a massive, global network of people--working in different fields, perhaps, or focussing on different issues--but with the combined skills, expertise, and clout needed to ensure that illegal surveillance does not go unchallenged, that those found culpable pay a price, and that this price effectively deters others. As long as we keep leveraging opportunities like IDEI to come together, collaborate, learn from and support each other, raise our voices and find strategic pressure points where we can have a real impact, we can, and will, counter the scourge of illegal surveillance of journalists.
Common Dreams is powered by optimists who believe in the power of informed and engaged citizens to ignite and enact change to make the world a better place.
