Good practices in the protection of human rights defenders 2016, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- For those who are unable to return home, asylum offers more permanent protection for defenders. In some programmes of relocation, this is explicitly recognized by ensuring that defenders most at risk receive asylum from the outset. It is important that asylum processes and decisions be timely and well informed about the situation of defenders, and that international protection complies with international human rights and refugee law, in particular the observation of the principle of non-refoulement.

Vision and Working Methods of the Mandate 2014, para. 82
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur intends to develop his cooperation with regional courts which, especially on the basis of new provisional measures, make it possible to ensure protection of defenders, particularly those who are threatened with refoulement or being deported to countries at risk. Numerous accounts received have shown the effectiveness of such measures, since States have an obligation to implement them and suspend such deportations.
