Thank you, Mr. Hareau, for coming in, for your testimony, and for all of your hard work on this very important issue.
You mentioned in your presentation today that the work of human rights defenders is not being publicized and the world doesn't really know the great efforts that human rights defenders go through to ensure there is an increased respect for human rights around the world. By the same token, social media is such a powerful tool to spread that knowledge, but it's a pretty interesting situation that if there is an increased presence on social media for human rights defenders, governments now use this as surveillance, perhaps to target human rights defenders.
Where do you think the balance lies so there can be a proper promotion of the great work that human rights defenders do, not just on an individual basis, but also at the organization level, and a raising of awareness of the issues that they tackle, garnering the support of the global community, while also trying to mitigate any backlash they may get from such publicity?
May I please have your thoughts on that?
