agree  Richard Boulter: The source phrase is gravely misspoken, of course. Checking with the context carefully in the balance of the document, one should reverse the actual wording to read as Mike suggests, 'contra', in order to convey the authors' meaning.

oponer resistencia a las violaciones de los derechos humanos


Explanation:
Simplemente otra opción, ya que "adoptar una postura contraria" y "pronunciarse en contra" es "oponerse".

El original debería decir "to make a stand against":

to make or take a stand against sth oponer resistencia a algo (Collins)
