Challenges faced by groups most at risk when exercising or seeking to exercise the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and/or of association 2014, para. 53
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Registration requirements for associations may have a disproportionate effect on certain groups most at risk, making it harder for them to form associations. For example, minority groups may face difficulties in forming associations that aim to protect and preserve their culture in a State that seeks to suppress ethnic minority identity or interprets minority consciousness as a means for minority groups to undermine territorial integrity. The Special Rapporteur echoes the jurisprudence of the European Court on Human Rights affirming the legitimacy of associations formed to promote issues of concern to minorities for historical and economic reasons.
