Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 50
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Whenever national human rights institutions are not able to address violations committed by private corporations, the possibility of amending their mandates so that they can receive and consider complaints of that nature should be envisaged. Such amendments should be discussed with defenders themselves to take into account the specific risks they encounter. National human rights institutions could also play a key preventive role in disseminating the Declaration to non-State actors and raising awareness about their responsibility to respect the rights of defenders.
