Comparative study of enabling environments for associations and businesses 2015, para. 96
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The right to freedom of peaceful assembly is sometimes misconstrued as relating only to protests and other public expressions of collective political activity. However, the right also protects private and non-political public gatherings. Associations and businesses may organize and hold gatherings for a variety of objectives, commercial and non-commercial, including meeting members, beneficiaries, clients, donors or investors as part of their internal governance obligations or in the course of their operations; assemblies for expressive purposes; and marketing or public relations. States have an obligation under international law to facilitate peaceful assemblies, yet they can treat assemblies in very different ways, sometimes without an objective or legal basis to do so.
