Párrafo
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur is mindful of States' obligation to guarantee law and order, but restrictions on peaceful assembly in relation to its "time, place and manner" should be limited to the extent that such restrictions meet the aforementioned strict test of necessity and proportionality. Any restriction imposed on the nature or content of the message the organizers and participants want to convey, especially in relation to criticism of Government policies, should be proscribed, unless the message constitutes "incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence", in conformity with article 20 of the Covenant. In this connection, he stresses the recommendation that he has already put forward to States to "provide individuals exercising their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association with the protection offered by the right to freedom of expression".
