Good practices in the protection of human rights defenders 2016, para. 41
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur is convinced that effective protection of defenders ultimately starts with their identification, and self-identification, as "human rights defenders". Without being perceived by others or perceiving themselves as such, they may not be aware of their rights as defenders, not seek support from peer or support networks and may not receive protection from the State, civil society and the international community.
