Paragraph
Paragraph text
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, in a 2009 report (A/HRC/11/2), stated that witchcraft "has not featured prominently on the radar screen of human rights monitors" and that "this may be due partly to the difficulty of defining 'witches' and 'witchcraft' across cultures - terms that, quite apart from their connotations in popular culture, may include an array of traditional or faith healing practices that are not easily defined".
