Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur welcomes the fact that the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, together with the Head of the New York Office of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, has been appointed by the Secretary-General to lead the efforts of the United Nations to put a stop to reprisals against those who cooperate with the Organization on human rights issues. He hopes that this new initiative will enhance responsiveness and result in measures that have a direct impact on specific cases, and not limit themselves simply to recording the facts. According to Mukunda Kattel, Director of the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-Asia): The mandate holder has helped to connect defenders in the field with international defender protection mechanisms. This link has proven essential for giving courage and energy to those who promote and protect human rights, sometimes in difficult or even adverse conditions. It has also put some pressure on States to respect their human rights obligations. Together, these various measures have made it possible to respond in part to the problem of reprisals and impunity.
