Paragraph text
As mentioned by the Special Rapporteur on previous occasions, national human rights institutions could play a leading role whenever States' judicial systems are unable or unwilling to adjudicate on alleged violations against defenders. The Special Rapporteur would like to stress the important role that independent and effective national human rights institutions could play in handling complaints against non-State actors, including private corporations.
