The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
States bear the primary responsibility for promoting and protecting peaceful assembly and association rights. They must implement and strengthen mechanisms that enable them discharge this duty. One major problem with States' current legal frameworks, however, is a lack of proper enforcement mechanisms at both the domestic and international levels. Without such mechanisms, accountability will be, at best, sporadic and irregular.
