In view of the operational difficulties described above, it was agreed to create an Organization called “Partnership for Integrated Protection (PIP) which will operate in the DRC and its 9 neighboring countries in the form of partnerships with other Organizations involved in promoting, protecting and defending the rights of human rights defenders. Not only will this partnership maximize the chance to work for all human rights defenders regardless of geographical limitations, allow PIP to reach HRD working in exile but also create an opportunity for cooperation between human rights organizations in research for the purpose of promoting Articles 16 and 17 on the global agenda for sustainable development, with specific strategies to defy transnational organized crimes that would interfere with set goals among partners.
PIP will have as impact a Pan-African community free from violations of its universal rights and fundamental freedoms.
