A/HRC/14/19 56. It is imperative that all acts of intimidation and reprisal are promptly and effectively prosecuted and addressed in an appropriate manner in order to combat impunity. Perpetrators should be brought to justice and victims provided with appropriate remedies. 57. Denouncing such acts publicly and reporting them to the appropriate human rights mechanisms will also contribute to combating related impunity. Civil society can play an important role in this regard. 58. The Secretary-General calls on all relevant stakeholders, including the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights, to continue to give this issue the priority it deserves and to take all necessary measures to curb this unacceptable phenomenon. The practices of certain human rights mechanisms to collect information on cases of intimidation and reprisals and to make it public with the agreement of the victim could be usefully expanded in order to ensure that all cases of reprisals will be known and acted upon. 14 GE.10-13228
