Mission & Goals
The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation works towards ensuring full justice for Daphne's assassination by using all legal means possible to ensure that the assassination investigation meets international standards. Our twin goal is to see justice for Daphne's investigations into high-level corruption in Malta. We engage in efforts to both protect investigative investigative journalists and to support collaborative investigations, particularly focussed on corruption.
EU Legislative Interests
The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation and 60 NGO partners from across Europe endorse the Model EU Anti-SLAPP Directive. The Model Directive was drafted on the initiative of the same coalition of NGOs, to raise awareness and urge policy makers to protect public watchdogs such as journalists, rights defenders, activists and whistleblowers from Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs).
Communication Activities
In 2021 the Foundation became a National Contact for Transparency International. We intend to pursue the objectives of the global TI organisation in Malta and the EU and will assist National Chapters of TI in the pursuit of those same objectives.
