This short video from 2010 is worth viewing. It is an excellent collection of tiny portraits of individuals from a variety of countries who explain what they do to defend the rights of others and in that way demonstrate what Human Rights Defenders are. An amazingly lively UN product, helped by Bob Marley’s “Stand up for your rights” in the background.
