Security and protection of human rights defenders 2010, para. 70
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The acknowledgement of good practices and shortcomings of existing national protection programmes could pave the way to better protection and enable the Special Rapporteur to revisit her protection strategy. The Special Rapporteur believes that greater awareness of good practices in the area of protection will encourage replication. The protection mechanisms cited below are by no means perfect, but States should draw upon these examples to create, develop or improve strategies and programmes for the physical protection of defenders in their respective countries.
