The Declaration on Human Rights Defenders reminds the public of the human rights that these people hold. Human rights defenders work to protect the freedom of others. It highlights the role that everyone plays within the movement and protects people not just States. The rights stated within the article provide protection to people because they know the dangers people face when standing up against large companies and their States. The declaration grants people their rights to stand up against the violence that is inflicted on people around the world.
