A/HRC/7/28 page 28 Country visits The Special Representative recommends to all stakeholders to regularly report on challenges and achievements in the implementation of the recommendations contained in reports on country visits. The Special Representative can submit this information in a separate report on follow-up to country visits, as the Special Rapporteur on torture does on a yearly basis, in the communications report, or in updates of the report on country profiles submitted in 2006. Thematic reports The Special Representative opened some lines of research, such as the enjoyment of defenders of the rights set forth in the Declaration or the situation of defenders at particular risk or less recognized. The Special Representative recommends this analytical work be continued and expanded to enrich knowledge and understanding of the Declaration and the challenges and achievements related to its implementation. The high number of communications sent by the mandate provides now, and every year more so, a solid caseload that can serve as a basis for a wide range of thematic analysis and monitoring. The Special Representative recommends a more active engagement of stakeholders in the preparation of and the follow-up to her thematic reports, and refers to the practical suggestions and recommendations in this area put forward in paragraphs 72 to 74 above. 101. Capacity-building activities on the Declaration and the mandate of the Special Representative should be developed and strengthened, those implemented by NGOs as well as by the United Nations system, in particular OHCHR, and other international and regional organizations. 102. The Special Representative recommends that the situation of human rights defenders be one of the elements to review in the UPR process of the Human Rights Council. 103. The Special Representative encourages the intensification of collaboration and joint initiatives among existing international and regional mechanisms for the protection of human rights defenders, with a view to strengthen the overall system for the protection of defenders by building on complementarities. 104. Finally, the Special Representative wants to pay tribute to human rights defenders, for whose recognition and protection she has been working all these years, and encourages them to continue their struggle for the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide. -----
