The International Service for Human Rights created a toolkit for Human Right Defenders to assess, mitigate and address risks of reprisals for cooperation with the United Nations.
Anyone engaging with the UN should be fully aware that, as important as it can be, doing so could increase their exposure to intimidation or reprisals. Because the UN system can seem remote, defenders sometimes underestimate the risks that arise from engaging with it.
This explainer provides tools and tactics for human rights defenders seeking to engage with the UN to better assess and mitigate risks. Even though it contains tools to mitigate and address reprisals for engaging with the UN specifically, you can use it to assess risk in other circumstances of your human rights work too!
