Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 4
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The present report does not aim to identify all categories of non-State actors involved in human rights abuses against defenders, as this group is too broad and diverse. Rather, it is the intent of the Special Rapporteur to highlight the types of violations they commit and their responsibilities. The report will therefore focus on armed groups, private corporations, individuals and the media, as these are the non State actors most regularly accused of violating the rights of defenders. Conclusions and recommendations are addressed to various stakeholders, as well as to all non State actors, including those not discussed in the report.
