International Organization of Journalists

Japanese: 国際ジャーナリスト機構 - こくさいじゃーなりすときこう(英語表記)International Organization of Journalists
International Organization of Journalists

An international organization of journalists' unions. Abbreviated as IOJ. Founded in June 1946. Its predecessors were the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), founded in 1926, and the Federation of Journalists of the Allied and Free Countries, founded in 1941. As the Cold War intensified, the Western countries withdrew from the organization in May 1952, and the IFJ was re-established. Since then, it has been organized mainly by journalists from the Eastern bloc. Since 1947, it has operated from its headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic, but the Czech Ministry of Interior revoked the IOJ's recognition and expelled it from the country (1995) due to its "historical ties with the communist regime." As of 2011, its headquarters is said to be in Lisbon, Portugal, but its actual status is unknown.

ジャーナリスト組合の国際組織。略称IOJ。1946年6月創立。前身は1926年創立の国際ジャーナリスト連盟(IFJ)ならびに1941年結成の連合国および自由諸国ジャーナリスト連盟。冷戦の激化に伴い、1952年5月西側諸国が脱退してIFJを再発足させてからは、おもに東側諸国のジャーナリストを中心に組織されてきた。1947年以降チェコのプラハに本部を置き活動してきたが、チェコ内務省は「共産主義体制との歴史的関係」を理由にIOJの認可を取り消し国外退去させた(1995)。2011年時点で、本部はポルトガルのリスボンにあるとされるが実態は不明。
