"Everyone here could be a human rights defender. There are many things you can do in your own capacity."👏👏. ~Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, speaking at the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
Each year at the @UN_HRC, States tell me how much they are doing to protect human rights defenders. Yet each day I see this is not true. HRDs need action, not just assurances. Everyone — States & individuals — has a role to play. #HRC58
