Killing in Silence: The Global Assassination Monitor

An assassination is like a stone being dropped into the middle of a still pond – the splash is the violent act itself – the ripples are the repercussions, that spread far and wide – fear, intimidation, silencing, corruption, erosion of trust, environmental damage, illicit firearms, impunity and retaliation – after all, violence begets violence – the damage to society is far-reaching, way beyond the shock of that initial killing. In November 2021, the https://globalinitiative.net/ (Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime) launched the https://assassination.globalinitiative.net/monitor/ (Global Assassination Monitor) - the first ever global database on contract killings.
