Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The State's duty to protect the rights of defenders from violations committed by States and non-State actors is derived from each State's primary responsibility and duty to protect all human rights, as enshrined in article 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which establishes the obligation of States to guarantee all individuals within their territories and subject to their jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant without discrimination. The Declaration on Human Rights Defenders establishes the State's duty to protect human rights defenders in the preamble to the Declaration as well as in its articles 2, 9 and 12.
