A/HRC/44/47/Add.2 D. Protection of justice operators 113. The Special Rapporteur urges national authorities to establish without further delay the protection units envisaged for judges and prosecutors at risk and to allocate appropriate human, financial and technical resources to protect judges, prosecutors and lawyers who face threats, harassment, intimidation and interference as a result of their professional activities. The modalities of protection should correspond to the nature and seriousness of the risk faced by the beneficiaries of the protection measures and should also extend to members of their families. E. Corruption and organized crime 114. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Honduras consider repealing the provisions of article 415 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which has been used to shield politicians and senior State officials accused of corruption. Should those provisions be retained, the Special Rapporteur recommends that their scope be limited to crimes perpetrated in the exercise of their official functions, and not extend to any crime allegedly committed by those individuals. 115. Although there are provisions in the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Criminal Code aimed at encouraging the collaboration of persons accused of complex or organized crime so that they can provide relevant information in exchange for advantages in terms of the sanctions and treatment that they face, they are not an integral component of the national strategy and procedures aimed at combating corruption. It is of the utmost urgency that the National Congress consider discussing and passing a law to introduce plea bargaining and guarantee effective collaboration with the prosecution service, particularly in criminal investigations on corruption and organized crime. Honduras should also consider establishing more efficient and systematic cooperation with other countries on the basis of the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. 116. The Special Rapporteur deeply regrets the decision of State authorities to end the mandate of the OAS Support Mission and to discontinue the operation of the Special Prosecution Unit to Fight Corruption-related Impunity. He recommends that State authorities allocate appropriate human, financial and technical resources to the fight against corruption and organized crime. 17
