Ms Margaret Sekaggya UN Report on abuses of human rights defenders

Ms Margaret Sekaggya is a lawyer, appointed by UN Human Rights Council as Special Rapporteur. She identified many abuses of human rights defenders. She listed in her report, as Special Rapporteur, measures that states should follow in order to protect human rights of human rights defenders.
Professionals like lawyers and doctors as human rights defenders suffer persecution in many states and there is poor provision in quasi judicial settings such as professional regulators as well as in judicial proceedings. Many professionals like doctors and lawyers who have acted as human rights abusers remain at large with state regulators adopting: "laisse faire" management style.
