Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 40
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
International law on State responsibility could apply to violations of the fundamental rights of defenders committed by certain categories of non-State actors under particular circumstances. For example, pursuant to the draft articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts, States may be held internationally responsible for violations of the rights of defenders, even though committed by non-State actors. Accountability, however, must be determined on a case-by-case basis. The Special Rapporteur would like to emphasize one instance in particular.
