Excellent- More about Protecting Human Rights Defenders at Risk
The international protection regime for human rights defenders has evolved significantly over the last twenty years, and this edited collection examines how it intersects with self-protection measures and informal protection initiatives. It highlights that protection practices are most effective when they are designed to address the specific risks that human rights defenders face, reflect how defenders understand 'risk, 'security, and 'protection, and are appropriate for the dynamic sociopolitical and legal contexts in which defenders operate.

This comprehensive book assesses the evolution, operation, and impact of the international protection regime for human rights defenders over the past two decades. In response to the risks faced by these courageous individuals as they promote and protect human rights, the regime has undergone significant changes. Drawing from the experiences of human rights defenders in Indonesia, Egypt, Kenya, Mexico, and Colombia, this edited collection explores the ways in which formal protection mechanisms provided by state and civil society actors intersect with self-protection measures and informal protection initiatives undertaken by families and friends. It highlights the importance of designing protection practices that are tailored to the specific risks faced by human rights defenders, considering their gender and intersectional identities. The book also emphasizes the need for protection practices to align with defenders' understanding of risk, security, and protection and to be adaptable to the dynamic sociopolitical and legal contexts in which they operate.
The book proposes innovative approaches to reimagining and practicing the protection of human rights defenders at risk. It serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars of politics, international relations, law, and human rights, as well as practitioners engaged in safeguarding these vulnerable individuals. By examining the challenges and opportunities in protecting human rights defenders, this book contributes to the ongoing efforts to promote and protect the fundamental rights of all individuals.
