作為人權捍衛者的國家人權機構
國家人權機構經常在關於人權捍衛者的敘事中被忽視,然而國家人權機構作為人權捍衛者的保護者、
監督者和支持者,佔有獨特的地位。前聯合國人權捍衛者處境特別報告員瑪格麗特・塞卡吉(Margaret
Sekaggya)在 2013 年提交給聯合國人權理事會的報告中認為,符合《關於促進和保護人權的國家機構
的地位的原則》
(
《巴黎原則》
)的國家人權機構也可以被視為人權捍衛者。
國家人權機構的工作人員每天都承受遭受暴力和報復的危險,其中一些人為他們對人權的堅持和奉獻
付出了最高的代價。本《行動計劃》肯認國家人權機構及其工作人員不可或缺的角色,並承諾支持作為
人權捍衛者的國家人權機構。
