Best practices that promote and protect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2012, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Any associations, both registered or unregistered, should have the right to seek and secure funding and resources from domestic, foreign, and international entities, including individuals, businesses, civil society organizations, Governments and international organizations. Nonetheless, the Special Rapporteur notes with concerns that, in some countries, only registered associations are eligible for funding and resources. In this context, it appears essential that rules regulating the creation of associations comply with the aforementioned identified best practices to allow any associations to access funding and resources.
