Abstract
This article examines current situation in the sphere of HRDs activity. Analysis, based on the case study method, showed that human rights defenders often become victims of their own successes in their work, since these achievements often cause a strong negative reaction from repressive states. At the same time, without their activities, freedom of action of the state can become unlimited and go beyond mechanisms that help society function.
