Thematic analysis of communications 28. Another way of following up on communications has been through the thematic analysis carried out by the Special Representative in several reports, which has allowed her to identify trends, prevalence of certain forms of violations, categories of defenders affected, and actors involved in the States’ response, and to identify specific recommendations needed to address gaps in the implementation of the Declaration. 29. In her reports to the Commission on Human Rights in 2004 and 2005 (E/CN.4/2004/94 and E/CN.4/2005/101), the Special Representative analysed communications sent in the reporting year and identified trends related to defenders targeted; vulnerability; types of violations; perpetrators; and outcome of cases and government responses.
