Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Since the start of his mandate, the Special Rapporteur has sought to acquire an in-depth understanding of the specific challenges faced by certain groups of defenders. Far from seeking to create categories of persons whose rights would be differentiated, he believed it was essential to analyse the causes and manifestations of the risks faced by some groups of defenders. This approach is essential to the task of proposing appropriate protection methods and providing better support to defenders working to promote fundamental rights.
