Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 84
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur himself has extensively documented the trend, looking at the growing restrictions on civil society's ability to access resources (see A/HRC/23/39), restrictions on assembly and association rights in the context of elections (see A/68/299), States' propensity to favour businesses over non-profit organizations (see A/70/266) and restrictions on people's ability to engage in regard to natural resource exploitation (see A/HRC/29/25). The effect of this growing wave of restrictions is that people now have less space to peacefully engage in regard to decisions that profoundly affect their lives.
