The IACHR has closely monitored the discussion of the Draft Law on the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, Journalists, Media Workers, and Justice Operators. After the project was approved in first debate, the IACHR received information about a number of concerns that civil society had. In this regard, it was noted that the mechanism would involve the representation in the National Council for the Protection of the Bar Association, the Association of Journalists and five representatives of human rights organizations, but not include the participation of journalists not affiliated with the Association of Journalists such as community radio journalists. It was also noted that the functions of the General Directorate of Mechanisms and Ancillary Units would be similar as to dictate, modify and suspend measures, which could generate confusion. On the other hand, it was stressed that that the fact that resource allocation would be progressive according to budget availability was of concern. It was also noted that the project did not refer to the characteristics of each target group in relation to the root causes of risk, the nature of the risks they face and their specific protection needs. Further to the information received, on August 1, 2014 the IACHR sent a request for information to the State on the bill. The state in its response to the inquiry said Congress had opened a consultation process with civil society and other stakeholders. In particular, it noted that on August 6 a first meeting with civil society took place, especially people working in the promotion and defense of human rights, which delivered a document with recommendations. The second meeting had been done with media directors, journalists, associations of journalists and the Honduran Press Association. The third meeting with justice officials that included representatives of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Attorney General’s office, the Bar Association, the Association of Judges and Prosecutors. The fourth was done with representatives from the Secretariat of Security, Secretariat of Defense and representatives of the Armed Forces, National Police, National Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence, and FUSINA. The State also reported that the particularities of each target group would be addressed via regulations, manuals and protocols that would be issued by the Secretary of Human Rights, Justice, Interior and Decentralization through the General Directorate of Protection Mechanisms and Analysis of Social Conflicts in coordination with the Secretariat of Security because for the risk assessment a causal link between the generating cause of risk, the specific needs and the legal right to be protected, had to exist.
