Work in progress, challenges and the way forward 2017, para. 75
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has sought to make himself more available to defenders who live in remote areas or who otherwise find it challenging to interact with his office. He has organized online discussions and webinars, bringing together defenders and civil society organizations from various parts of the world. Three online discussions held between August and December 2016 attracted the participation of 70 defenders, the majority of whom had never been in contact with the Special Rapporteur's office. The participants' feedback confirmed that such activities were essential for forging closer ties with the field and thus bringing some defenders out of isolation, without having to deal with budgetary or geographical constraints. Further discussions are already in preparation; they will focus on ways that the Special Rapporteur's recommendations and resolutions on human rights defenders can be conveyed to the field and put into practice there.
