Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 34
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The principle of due diligence, as first articulated by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Velásquez-Rodríguez v. Honduras, provides a way to assess whether the State has acted in fulfilment of its human rights obligations. In relation to the Declaration, States should act with due diligence to prevent, investigate and punish any violation of the rights enshrined in the Declaration. In other words, States should prevent violations of the rights of defenders under their jurisdiction by taking legal, judicial, administrative and all other measures to ensure the full enjoyment by defenders of their rights; investigating alleged violations; prosecuting alleged perpetrators; and providing defenders with remedies and reparation.
