Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 21
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- At the outset, the Special Rapporteur would like to recall that non-State actors, including private companies, have an obligation to comply with national laws in conformity with international standards and norms. Consequently, non-State actors can be held accountable for violations of the rights of defenders amounting to offences or crimes under national law. In addition, the Human Rights Council, in its resolution 12/2, condemns "all acts of intimidation or reprisal by non-State actors against individuals and groups who seek to cooperate or have cooperated with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights".
