Publication Date: 2018
This handbook is aimed at human rights defenders, rights holders, victims and witnesses, and highlights the risks that they may face when interacting with human rights bodies, including the UN human rights system, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR), the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), and the Council of Europe (CoE). The handbook also discusses ways in which defenders can leverage the weight of the UN and regional human rights mechanisms to provide some degree of protection against those risks and promote accountability for perpetrators.
