Best practices that promote and protect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2012, para. 20
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are constitutionally guaranteed in most countries. In many States, specific domestic laws further govern the exercise of these rights. However, in many instances, domestic legislation in place listed grounds additional to those already prescribed by international human rights law or ambiguous. The Special Rapporteur warns against arbitrary interpretations of such grounds for restriction. He further cautions against an environment in which the enjoyment of these rights is seriously impeded.
