A/HRC/10/12 page 14 criteria for the registration of NGOs. In certain cases participation of representatives of unregistered NGOs in the national consultation process was denied even when such representatives asked to be considered and included as individual human rights defenders. 56. At the positive end of the spectrum, Guatemala could be mentioned as an example of best practice. The Government of Guatemala worked together with the OHCHR country office in consulting members of civil society and training them on how they could participate in the UPR process. This practice should be replicated in other States. 57. Another positive example is Tonga, where the national report was publicly endorsed by its civil society as a whole. 58. The Special Rapporteur also wishes to mention the practice adopted by Switzerland, which published the draft national report on the website of the foreign ministry and invited civil society and citizens as a whole to comment on it. This practice should also be encouraged. 2. Compilation of United Nations information 59. Under the provisions of resolution 5/1, the review is also based on “a compilation prepared by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the information contained in the reports of treaty bodies, special procedures, including observations and comments by the State concerned, and other relevant official United Nations documents, which shall not exceed 10 pages”.12 60. For the first three sessions of the UPR, the compilations of United Nations information for 17 States made no direct reference to human rights defenders, due to the fact that special procedures and treaty bodies made no specific recommendations on defenders. In the compilations of United Nations information for the 31 other States under review during those sessions, references were made to harassment, violence, freedoms, legal matters, targeting of specific groups, national infrastructure for human rights defenders, and certain other matters in relation to human rights defenders. 61. Forms of harassment of human rights defenders which were mentioned included general harassment and repression in all regions of the world; threats and intimidation particularly in South American States such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador, and in Asian States such as Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Uzbekistan; hate speech, defamation, stigmatization, and lack of recognition of the work of human rights defenders in Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, and Serbia; and raids on NGOs in Pakistan. 62. Forms of violence mentioned in terms of human rights defenders included killings, particularly in South American States such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala, and Asian States such as India, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines and Sri Lanka; assaults, particularly in South American States such as Guatemala and Peru, and north African States such as Algeria and Tunisia; and torture and ill-treatment in Indonesia, Montenegro, Morocco, Pakistan, and Tunisia. 12 Ibid., para. 15 (b).
