The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 29
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur considers the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the Open Government Partnership important for enhancing the public's access to information and for reforming government policies that lead to exclusion, inequality and the marginalization of those who should benefit from natural resource exploitation. These initiatives can reinforce and open more space for civil society to engage with other stakeholders in decision-making on natural resource exploitation, but only if there is an enabling environment for civil society as a whole. General restrictions on civil society negatively affect their participation within these initiatives, and it is unacceptable to create space only for civil society working on natural resource issues. Effective participation by civil society in these initiatives and the ability of a broader portion of civil society to freely associate and peacefully assemble are both necessary.
