Right to health in conflict situations 2013, para. 63
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Security concerns should not be used to justify blanket bans on reporting violations, particularly where a less restrictive means of ensuring security is available, such as allowing anonymous reporting of incidents. States should ensure that accurate information is available to independent monitors and should not retaliate against persons who report violations. States should also prevent and investigate threats and attacks against such persons by both State agents and third parties. States should especially promote community-based monitoring initiatives, which ensure that the views of the local population are taken into account, and provide transparent and reliable information to civil society and affected communities.
