Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 36 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | Free market fundamentalism in the United States of America has led to a systematic rollback of the right to freedom of association for workers in several jurisdictions, particularly in the 26 States that have enacted so-called "right to work" legislation. The laws forbid unions from negotiating contracts that require all workers represented by a union to pay dues. Proponents of the laws frame their purpose in free market terms, saying that employees should "decide for themselves whether or not to join or financially support a union". But at the same time, United States law requires unions to represent all employees in a bargaining unit. Thus, the effect of the "right to work" laws is to give non-dues-paying workers a free ride: they reap the benefits that the union has negotiated without having to pay the costs. This can weaken unions over the long run, and the Special Rapporteur views these laws as legislative obstacles intentionally designed to discourage people from exercising their right to freedom of association in the workplace. |

Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 64 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | Religious fundamentalism by non-State actors - and the State's active or tacit encouragement of this - frequently results in violations of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. Some prominent Buddhist monks in Myanmar, a Buddhist-majority country, have stirred vicious anger and violence against the Rohingya people, a Muslim minority group that is not recognized by the Government as a distinct ethnic group. The Government has reportedly done little in response, leading to repeated outbreaks of violence targeting Rohingya. Moreover, following riots between Rohingya and Buddhists in Rakhine State, the Government imposed Emergency Act 144 in June 2012, which prevented groups of five or more people from gathering in public areas. The ban was reportedly only enforced against Rohingya. The Special Rapporteur welcomes reports that the state of emergency was lifted in March 2016, but stresses that such blanket bans, especially when enforced against a specific group only, violate the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. |

Ability of associations to access financial resources as a vital part of the right to freedom of association & Ability to hold peaceful assemblies as an integral component of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly 2013, para. 54 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | By contrast, as in the view of the OSCE/ODIHR Panel of Experts, a notification should be considered as unduly bureaucratic if any of the following requirements is imposed on the organizers: that there be more than one named organizer; that only registered organizations are considered as legitimate organizers; that formal identity documents, such as passports or identity cards, be produced; that identification details of others involved in the event, such as stewards be provided; that reasons for holding an assembly, bearing in mind the principle of non-discrimination, be given; and that the exact number of participants, which is difficult to predict, be given. In this connection, the authorities should not punish organizers if the number of participants does not match the anticipated number, as stipulated by domestic legislation (as has occurred in the Russian Federation). |

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 24 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | In this regard, the Special Rapporteur recalls that the right to freedom of peaceful assembly does not require the issuance of a permit to hold an assembly. If necessary, a mere prior notification, intended for large assemblies or for assemblies at which some degree of disruption is anticipated, may be required. Spontaneous peaceful assemblies, which usually occur in reaction to a specific event - such as the announcement of results - and which by definition cannot be subject to prior notification, should be more tolerated in the context of elections. In addition, the Special Rapporteur considers laws establishing authorization procedures to be even more problematic in the context of elections, as authorization may be arbitrarily denied, especially when demonstrators intend to criticize Government policies. In the Sudan, a peaceful demonstration organized by an independent gubernatorial candidate for the April 2010 elections was curbed by police forces invoking the failure of the organizers to seek permission. Several protestors were arrested and/or injured by security forces. |
