Reporteri Fara Frontiere este o organizatie non-guvernamentala non-profit, cu sediul in Franta, fondata in 1985 de Robert Menard, Remy Loury, Jacques Molenat si Emilien Jubineau, care promoveaza si apara libertatea informatiei si a presei.
In fiecare an, asociatia face o lista in care evidentiaza impactul negativ al conflictelor asupra libertatii informatiei si protagonistilor sai, oferind un clasament al statelor in aceasta materie. Clasamentul de anul acesta a fost influentat de o tendinta de a interpreta necesitatile de securitate nationala intr-o maniera excesiva si abuziva, in detrimentul dreptului de a informa si de a fi informat. Acest trend constituie o amenintare crescanda in lume si pune in pericol libertatea informatiei chiar in state care sunt considerate democratii. Statele care stau “bine” la capitolul libertatea informatiei si a presei ocupa primele locuri in clasament, in top aflandu-se Finlanda, pentru al patrulea an consecutiv, urmata de Olanda si Norvegia, ca si anul trecut. Codasele acestei liste sunt detinute din nou de Turcmenistan, Coreea de Nord si Eritreea.
In mod surprinzator, Statele Unite ale Americii sunt clasate pe locul 46, dupa – ghiciti cine? Ei bine, da! Dupa Romania, care este clasata pe pozitia 45!
Asociatia Reporteri Frara Frontiere are calitatea de consultant al Organizatiei Natiunilor Unite.
