Human rights defenders under threat: A field security approach to their work
Send
The challenges faced by human right defenders working under threat pose the need for comprehensive and dynamic systems to cope with the security requirements. Knowing their work context or “taking care” cannot answer all the questions: we must take a step further and discuss a system for security management.
In this paper we propose an overall framework for a security management process and an incremental approach to security management, as well as some reflections on basic concepts like risk, vulnerability and threat. We also include some proposals to improve and develop the level of security for human rights defenders to work. All these topics should allow NGOs and defenders to better undertake strategies for coping with the increasing security challenges of human rights work.
