A/HRC/28/63 71. The Special Rapporteur intends to develop cooperation with regional courts, which, thanks to interim measures, among others, successfully provide protection for human rights defenders, particularly those threatened with refoulement or return to countries at risk. He has already been in contact with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Council of Europe about this. There is significant evidence to show the effectiveness of such measures when they are adopted by States. 72. The Special Rapporteur intends to draw on lessons learned from his cooperation with regional courts to establish the effectiveness of his activities as a third party in individual cases or in amici curiae briefs with the aim of providing regional courts with more information. 73. The Special Rapporteur does not rule out the idea of appearing before national courts as a third party in individual cases or in amici curiae briefs with the appointed counsel, where appropriate. 74. Lastly, with regard to cooperation with other stakeholders, the Special Rapporteur would like to recall the vital role played by the media and the social media in promoting the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders and the effective protection of defenders. Numerous cases of journalists who have reported on or written articles about human rights violations, and also cases of whistle-blowers and bloggers, have come to the attention of the Special Rapporteur, who considers them to be human rights defenders, in that they meet the criteria set out in the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. He means to extend and strengthen his cooperation with the media as part of the implementation of his mandate. D. Wider dissemination of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders 75. Sixteen years after its adoption by the General Assembly, the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders has been very widely disseminated and promoted by the various stakeholders. Significant efforts have been made to translate it into an ever-growing number of national and local languages. Despite this, it is still too little known by those responsible for its implementation, namely governments, or by those who could benefit from it, namely human rights defenders. 76. Among the activities that he will pursue, therefore, the Special Rapporteur will pay special attention to the promotional aspects of the Declaration and will encourage States, international organizations and other parties to make an additional effort to make steady progress in translating it into more national and local languages. He will continue to lobby permanent missions and other stakeholders to remind them that, in paragraph 10 of its resolution 62/152, the General Assembly encourages States to translate the Declaration into their national languages and to take measures to improve its dissemination. 77. At every meeting, the Special Rapporteur will ask the authorities of the countries that he visits about measures taken to promote awareness-raising and training activities relating to the Declaration in order to enable officials, agencies, authorities and the judiciary to implement the provisions of the Declaration and thus promote better understanding and respect for individuals, groups and organs of society engaged in promoting and defending human rights. 78. In view of the threats and risks to which human rights defenders living in isolated areas are exposed, the Special Rapporteur intends to make a particular effort to make sure that the Declaration reaches them so that they can benefit from the protection it provides. 79. The Special Rapporteur welcomes all the initiatives taken by States or intergovernmental organizations, including the European Union, OSCE, Norway, Switzerland and the United States to draw up guidelines for their diplomatic missions on 12 GE.14-25280
