Paragraph
Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 7
- Paragraph text
- Fundamentalism can encompass much more than religion, however, and the Special Rapporteur takes a much broader view of the term here. He believes that fundamentalism can and should be defined more expansively, to include any movement - not simply religious ones - that advocates strict and literal adherence to a set of basic beliefs or principles. Adherence to the principles of free market capitalism, for example, has spawned what has been called "market fundamentalism". And the unbending belief in the superiority of one ethnic group, race, tribe or nationality can lead to what might be called "nationalist fundamentalism". These non-religious forms of fundamentalism may not always be labelled as such, but the Special Rapporteur believes that they all share key similarities, first and foremost that they are based upon a set of strict, inflexible beliefs that are impervious to criticism or deviation.

Paragraph
The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- The rights to freedom of assembly and of association in the digital sphere are increasingly the subject of restrictive laws and policies. There is a need, therefore, to discuss them in view of the challenges of the digital age and to explore the connection between those rights, specifically, and new technologies.

Paragraph
Comparative study of enabling environments for associations and businesses 2015, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- In Oman, the Ministry of Social Development, which is charged with overseeing the mandatory registration of associations, only registers entities falling into one of four identified thematic categories.

Paragraph
The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 25
- Paragraph text
- Many States consider that their obligations in relation to human rights apply only within their borders. In recent years, efforts have been made to highlight States' extraterritorial obligations, which are inherent in international human rights law. The Maastricht Principles on Extraterritorial Obligations of States in the area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights were compiled by international experts as a restatement of international law clarifying States' extraterritorial obligations. Although conceived in relation to economic, social and cultural rights, the principles are also applicable to civil and political rights. Of interest to the Special Rapporteur is the obligation for States to adopt and enforce measures to realize rights not only where the threat or harm occurs within their territory, but also "where the corporation or its parent or controlling company, has its center of activity, is registered or domiciled, or has its main place of business or substantial business activities, in the State concerned" (principle 25 (c)). Broadening the concept of responsibility to include more than one State not only strengthens underlying rights, it also increases the chances of victims obtaining redress when violations occur.

Paragraph
Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 16
- Paragraph text
- In other cases still, abuses may come purely at the hands of non-State actors, with the role of State actors being less obvious. This is seen, for example, when private parties publicize messages of ethnic or national superiority or when community leaders impose their cultural values at the expense of those held by other groups.
