Paragraph
Paragraph text
Involuntary dissolution and suspension are perhaps the most serious sanctions that the authorities can impose on an organization. They should be used only when other, less restrictive measures would be insufficient and should be guided by the principles of proportionality and necessity. Moreover, associations should have the right to appeal decisions regarding suspension or dissolution before an independent and impartial court.
