Security and protection of human rights defenders 2010, para. 30
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Certain countries have taken action in this regard, which should be commended. The Special Rapporteur notes with satisfaction the public statement by the President of Colombia on 17 September 2009 after his meeting with the Special Rapporteur to the effect that "the defence of human rights is a necessary and legitimate action for democracy in a country like Colombia which is proud to be completely open to international scrutiny in this field" and she calls upon the authorities to give effect to this statement. In Belgium, both the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives adopted resolutions on the protection of human rights defenders, acknowledging the role of defenders and their need of protection. The resolutions also establish clear goals to be achieved by the Belgian authorities. Similarly, the Spanish Congress unanimously passed a resolution on human rights defenders in June 2007.
