The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- Without assembly and association rights, workers have little leverage to change the conditions that entrench poverty, fuel inequality and limit democracy. The need to maintain paid work is all-consuming; so many workers toil long hours for low wages in unsafe and unhealthy environments, risking disease, injury and death. They work without basic social protections such as health care, education, pensions or, in the case of trafficked workers, the right to choose or leave employment. The impact of the lack of assembly and association rights is compounded for migrant workers by harsh immigration laws, unscrupulous labour recruitment organizations, militarized labour systems and rights-restricted structures in export processing zones. Migrant domestic and agricultural workers, often excluded from labour law protection both at home and abroad, are doubly exploited and marginalized.

- Paragraph text
- Many countries, including the United Kingdom and France, exclude domestic workers from the jurisdiction of labour inspectorates in deference to employers' privacy. Canada (Ontario), Ethiopia and Jordan exempt domestic workers from laws covering trade union representation. Migration law often also treats domestic workers differently from other workers. The Special Rapporteur notes, however, as a positive step, that 30 countries have now extended labour protection to domestic workers.

Furthermore and despite repeated attempts, the NGO Human Rights in China has yet to be accredited by the Committee owing to the opposition of the Government of China, which has questioned the legitimacy of the organization.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 86
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur reiterates that the ability to peacefully assemble and freely associate is a key aspect of a vibrant democracy and critical for development. In today's globalized world, the meaning and practice of democracy stretches beyond national boundaries. Multilateral entities thus have positive responsibilities to actively protect peaceful assemblies and to establish and maintain an enabling environment for civil society. This is all the more valid when multilateral institutions claim to represent States, which are the primary actors accountable for the respect and promotion of civil liberties. In addition, the Special Rapporteur underlines the obligation of States to protect and facilitate the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association of those engaging with multilateral institutions.

- The Special Rapporteur finds all these practices deeply disconcerting, and believes that they profoundly undermine the ability of the United Nations to constructively engage with civil society. States sitting on the Committee should champion the right to freedom of association and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. In this context, he voiced concern about the election of Azerbaijan to the Committee after criminal charges were filed against three of that country's most prominent human rights defenders. His concerns only increased after the three were convicted.

- Paragraph text
- To counterbalance critical voices at home and abroad, States have resorted to sending GONGOs (government-operated NGOs) to multilateral arenas. Such organizations have made statements, and organized side-events in the margins of sessions, in support of States' policies (e.g. GONGOs from the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Sudan). While the Special Rapporteur recognizes that they are a manifestation of the exercise of the right to freedom of association, he notes with concern that such organizations have often monopolized the space meant for independent associations. In his view, multilateral institutions should strike a balance, bearing in mind the principles of broad-mindedness, tolerance and diversity of voices.

- [The Special Rapporteur calls, therefore, upon multilateral institutions to:] Have strict internal guidelines governing the policing of assemblies, rather than simply handing this function over to local authorities. These guidelines should mirror international law and good practices. Moreover, multilateral organizations should not organize major events likely to draw protests in locations where they cannot receive assurances that local authorities have the political will and technical capacity to uphold international standards. The Special Rapporteur also strongly recommends that multilateral institutions require domestic authorities to produce a report detailing how demonstrations, protests and other public gatherings around international events were managed by police, and that such reports be made public.

- Additionally, the Committee places obstacles to accredited NGOs by intentionally deferring consideration of the quadrennial reports that they are requested to produce. In January 2014, the Committee deferred 11 reports of NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, following questions from Cuba and the Russian Federation. In addition, the Committee postponed further consideration of all 23 previously deferred quadrennial reports of organizations such as Amnesty International, Freedom House, Human Rights First, International PEN, and Reporters sans frontières international (see E/2014/32 (Part I)).

- The Special Rapporteur is similarly concerned about the so-called "no objection" procedure which allows for the participation of NGOs without consultative status in United Nations high-level events, unless States object to it. However, States which object do not have to provide any justification and remain anonymous. The Special Rapporteur was informed that States have increasingly used this procedure to restrict the access of NGOs in several meetings at United Nations Headquarters, for instance during the 2013 high-level meeting of the General Assembly on the realization of the Millennium Development Goals for persons with disabilities, the 2013 high-level dialogue on international migration and development, and the high-level meeting on rule of law.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 12
- Paragraph text
- In its resolution 15/21, the Human Rights Council calls upon States to respect and fully protect the rights of all individuals to assemble peacefully and associate freely, including in the context of elections. In addition to the notion of democracy, the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are implicit in the right to take part in the Government of one's country, as affirmed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states in article 21 (3) that "[t]he will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures". Similarly, article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights affirms every citizen's right without prohibited distinctions and unreasonable restrictions: (a) to take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives; (b) to vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors; and (c) to have access, on general terms of equality, to public service in his country. The Human Rights Committee recognizes that the full enjoyment of those rights depends on the free communication of information and ideas about public and political issues between citizens, candidates and elected representatives, which requires the free exercise of the rights to peaceful assembly and association, among other rights (general comment No. 25, para. 25). The General Assembly, in its resolution 59/201 declared that freedom of association and peaceful assembly were essential elements of democracy, together with the right to vote and to be elected at genuine periodic free elections, and encouraged the strengthening of political party systems and civil society organizations.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur agrees that international human rights law only protects assemblies that are peaceful, i.e. those that are not violent, and where participants have peaceful intentions, which should be presumed. According to the European Court of Human Rights, "an individual does not cease to enjoy the right to peaceful assembly as a result of sporadic violence or other punishable acts committed by others in the course of the demonstration, if the individual in question remains peaceful in his or her own intentions or behaviour".

- According to ILO jurisprudence, decisions to dissolve labour organizations "should only occur in extremely serious cases; such dissolutions should only happen following a judicial decision so that the rights of defence are fully guaranteed". The Special Rapporteur values as best practice legislation that stipulates that such drastic measures be taken by independent and impartial courts. In the United Republic of Tanzania, the case of an association working on gender equality that had been deregistered by the authorities was successfully overturned by the Constitutional Court.

Best practices that promote and protect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2012, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- The word "association" refers, inter alia, to civil society organizations, clubs, cooperatives, NGOs, religious associations, political parties, trade unions, foundations or even online associations as the Internet has been instrumental, for instance, in "facilitating active citizen participation in building democratic societies" (A/HRC/17/27, para. 2). The Special Rapporteur underscores that these various types of associations are, in most cases, regulated by different types of legislations. As he has mainly received information regarding allegations impacting civil society's work since the inception of his mandate, and due to the word limit, the present section of the report will primarily focus on this type of association, but will address others when relevant. This will not prevent him from focusing on other forms of associations in his future reports.

The Special Rapporteur reiterates that these rights are essential components of democracy since they empower women, men and youth to "express their political opinions, engage in literary and artistic pursuits and other cultural, economic and social activities, engage in religious observances or other beliefs, form and join trade unions and cooperatives, and elect leaders to represent their interests and hold them accountable" (Council resolution 15/21, preamble).
