Mr. Séamus Dooley:

One of the phrases I never use when someone dies is "justice for" because justice is denied. You cannot achieve justice for someone whose life has been taken. The most we can do is learn the lessons of history or try to learn the lessons of history. The IFJ focus on an international convention for the protection of journalists is the only way of securing a global response. At a practical level one of the issues I wish to raise is the support of the IFJ international safety fund. It is a huge means of contributing funds to enable journalists in conflict zones to do their work. The only way to respond to the extinguishing of a light is to light another candle and try to enable other people to do their work.
