The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 83 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The success of the mandate on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, just as that of any other mandate, cannot be measured in terms of resolutions adopted, reports presented, dialogues held or initiatives promoted. | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Special Procedures' report |

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. 80 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Moreover, the Special Rapporteur believes that the "Arab Spring", and the "occupy movement" which subsequently flourished in many parts of the world, have opened a door which will never be closed. They provide a non-violent alternative for change as well as give authorities a chance to understand the views and feelings of citizens. These events indelibly confirmed that holding peaceful assemblies is a legitimate and powerful means to make calls for democratic change; greater respect for human rights, including economic, social and cultural ones; and accountability for human rights violations and abuses. The ability to hold such assemblies has proven particularly crucial for groups most at risk of violations and discrimination enabling them to address their often desperate plight in a meaningful manner. | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Special Procedures' report |

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 56 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The Special Rapporteur wishes to underscore the fact that electoral periods are a unique moment in the life of a nation to confirm, and even strengthen, democratic principles, such as non-discrimination, gender equality, pluralism of views and parity. Democracy is a singular way of allowing for effective popular participation in decision-making processes at both national and local levels. He stresses that electoral periods are such an important time to build democratic, responsive and accountable institutions and that very strict and clear safeguards should be put in place by States to prevent undue interference in public freedoms, in particular in the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. Further, in times of elections, States should make greater efforts to facilitate and protect the exercise of these core rights, which should be enjoyed by everyone, especially by members of groups at risk. In effect, genuine elections cannot be achieved if the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are curtailed. | Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association | Special Procedures' report |
