On the Declaration on human rights defenders 2011, para. 31
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- There are both negative and positive obligations on States arising from the right to freedom of association, including the obligation to prevent violations of this right, to protect those exercising this right and to investigate violations of this right. Given the importance of the role that human rights defenders play in democratic societies, the free and full exercise of this right places a duty on States to create legal and real conditions in which defenders can freely carry out their activities. Also, although associations are required to have some kind of institutional structure, they do not need to assume a legal personality to operate and de facto associations are equally protected under the Declaration.
