At the commencement of her new mandate as the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders, Mary Lawlor speaks to IHRB’s Salil Tripathi about her plans for the work. She speaks about the shrinking space for human rights defenders, of the intimidation and threats they face. She will focus on the violence against human rights defenders, including murders committed with impunity, as well as the forgotten prisoners kept in prolonged detention. From business, she expects greater responsibility and commitment to respecting human rights.
