Description

Juliane Falloux (au); Ben Schonveld (au). In at least 60 countries human rights defenders (HRD) carry out high-risk work. 1999 saw the internat. community finally recognize the legitimacy of the work of HRD; it recognized the repression facing HRD & the imperative need to set up internat. mechanisms to protect their work. However, nearly a third of the world’s nations continue to actively attack HRD. The Observatory for the Protection of HRD was created in 1997 to respond to grave violations & contribute to the protection of HRD at the nat. & internat. level. The 2nd annual report of the Observatory demonstrates the concerns & particularities of repression aimed at HRD on each continent.
