A/HRC/7/28 page 15 52. The Special Representative has also issued press releases to follow up on communications sent to Governments, or on previous press releases, as an additional means of action when she feels that her concerns are to be raised publicly. In 2007, she issued press releases following up on situations addressed in communications with regard to the ongoing campaign against human rights defenders in Myanmar,7 the suspension and the subsequent reinstatement of the Chief Justice in Pakistan,8 and the constitutional reform in Venezuela9. In 2006, she condemned the lack of respect for human rights shown in the eviction of Bassac residents in Phnom Penh.10 C. Country visits 53. Country visits and reports thereon are among the most powerful means that special procedures have to make a difference at the national level. The major force of country visits lies in the momentum they create. Seizing this momentum to turn the potential for change generated by a country visit into decisions, actions and results is a primary responsibility of the stakeholders to whom the recommendations contained in the report on the visit are addressed, most commonly Governments, human rights defenders, national institutions and the international community. 54. While responsibility for the actual implementation of recommendations lies with the stakeholders, mainly Governments, follow-up activities of the Special Representative are important to both document the impact of the visit as well as to maintain continued dialogue and engagement with the country, which can give additional impetus to national efforts to improve the situation of human rights defenders. 7 Press releases dated 25 April 2007 and 28 September 2007, http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/F9CC50DE2050A8CFC12572C800578C4 B?opendocument and http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/78352E3E45A4C341C1257365001418E2? opendocument. 8 Press releases dated 21 March 2007 and 6 August 2007, http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/B3076DBAE35B0F97C12572A5005D4209 ?opendocument and http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/FA9770E8E0584315C125732F00560FE0? opendocument. 9 Press release dated 30 November 2007, http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/3A9D80608052F4FCC12573A30073E377? opendocument. 10 Press releases dated 30 May 2006 and 29 June 2006, http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/9435B2ABA16C7F8BC125717E002A277F ?opendocument and http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/C9FEDB586D9A189EC125719C00596D3 D?opendocument
