NGOs, including the ICJ, have sent an open letter to the OHCHR Petitions Unit and Treaty Bodies chairs on threats and assaults against Treaty Body petitioners.
The purpose of this letter is to encourage Treaty Bodies to proactively request that State parties adopt protection measures in cases of reprisals against Treaty Body petitioners, and seek follow-up to those measures by OHCHR field presences.
