ICTJ staff provided legal advice to a local human rights organization on how to resist demands from members of the armed forces to hand over documentation, including information received from victims and family members of the disappeared. Based on a survey of applicable international law and state practice, the ICTJ provided comments on the rights and obligations of human rights organizations when faced with demands to disclose the contents of their files.
