Security and protection of human rights defenders 2010, para. 36
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- States should refrain from criminalizing the peaceful and legitimate activities of defenders and ensure that they can work in a safe environment without fear of being prosecuted for criticizing Government policy or Government officials. The Special Rapporteur also urges States to review and abolish all legislative and administrative provisions restricting the rights contained in the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, including legislation on NGOs and freedom of expression. Security legislation should not be used inappropriately to restrict the work of defenders. States should respect defenders' right to a fair trial and appropriate redress and compensation should be provided to defenders whenever their right to a fair trial is denied.
