The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 36
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In his second report to the General Assembly (A/69/365), he examined the exercise of the rights to peacefully assemble and to associate at the international level, specifically in the context of multilateral institutions and their impact on those rights. He observed that civil society was far too often excluded from international debates, with multilateral institutions commonly viewing peaceful assemblies, whether during global summits or when implementing a project, as posing a security threat; that the operations of many multilaterals lacked transparency; and that reprisals against human rights defenders who cooperated with multilaterals were common. He further examined obstacles to the exercise of assembly and association rights in the context of multilaterals, some erected by the entities themselves, and some by the States that comprised them. He also made extensive recommendations on what should be done to improve the situation.
