Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur sees differential treatment of businesses' and associations' political activity as a form of discrimination against civil society which constitutes a violation of the rights to freedom of association and to take part in public affairs. Moreover, different rules for each sector can lead to disparate access to decision makers, favouring those who are allowed to contribute.
