Sure. I'm happy to come in.
Thank you, sir. We certainly agree with your question. In fact, as you've said, we've seen a rise in human rights violations during the pandemic in a variety of different ways. You emphasized the fact that women at home in close quarters are sometimes more vulnerable. We have seen an upsurge in violence in the home. It has been well documented.
That applies as well, I would say, to people in care in a variety of ways: older people, people with disabilities and others. We've also seen it happen with LGBT people who may not have a happy home situation. That may also increase the risk of violence for them.
There's plenty to be worried about in terms of a rise in human rights violations during the pandemic.
I would also emphasize the extent to which the use by governments of emergency measures is something that of course we understand and has been very necessary and that human rights law clearly allows for, but what we have also seen is that there have been numerous instances where states have abused those measures in an overbroad or a pretextual way to abuse rights in various ways: by cracking down on dissent, by going up against civil society and by taking measures that might have been more visible in other circumstances but are now hidden behind the pandemic.
I think you're absolutely right that this is something we need to watch much more carefully.
