right of human rights defenders to access, communicate or otherwise engage with NHRIs. States should recognize that members and staff of independent NHRIs must be fully protected, as all other human rights defenders, from undue pressure and abuse. 95. Where required, states should consider setting up or designating inter-institu- tional co-ordinating bodies, with the participation of human rights defenders, to develop and implement strategies to enhance the protection of human rights defenders and to create and consolidate a safe and enabling environment. Whether or not an inter-institutional co-ordinating body is required is best ascertained in consultation with human rights defenders. Such bodies should also be tasked with drawing up and administering appropriate protection programmes, policies and mechanisms in order to increase the physical safety and security of human rights defenders at risk. 96. Participating States are encouraged to translate the present Guidelines in local languages and, together with other relevant international standards, disseminate them widely among law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, the military, faith leaders, teachers and educators, health workers, journalists and other professional groups, civil society and other relevant actors. They should encourage non-state actors – including private businesses, political and social groups – to be guided by the Guidelines in carrying out their activities. Furthermore, they should co-operate with ODIHR in promoting awareness about the Guidelines and in training relevant public officials, professional groups and other actors to ensure appropriate follow-up and implementation. Protection of human rights defenders in other OSCE participating States and third countries 97. Participating States should consider setting up mechanisms and draw up national guidelines to support human rights defenders and their work in other OSCE participating States, as well as in other countries outside the OSCE region. Such national guidelines should include rapid response mechanisms for human rights defenders at imminent risk in other OSCE participating States and third countries. 98. Through their diplomatic missions, participating States should take action in the state concerned to support human rights defenders, in particular those at immediate risk of or subject to attacks, harassment, persecution and arbitrary detention. They should promote action by members of the diplomatic corps, for example, to meet with human rights defenders, visit those in detention, attend their trials and issue public statements or intervention letters to the authorities of the host state when required. 99. Participating States should also raise instances of threats, attacks, arbitrary arrests and other serious human rights violations against human rights defenders through other appropriate means with the state concerned, for example, in 20 Guidelines on the Protection of Human Rights Defenders
