Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 15
- Paragraph text
- In other cases, violations may arise due to the inability or unwillingness of the State to respond to the actions of non-State actors. The State's failure to protect participants in a peaceful rally against violent, fundamentalist counter-protesters, for example, constitutes a violation of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. It does not matter if the State does not officially promote the counter-protesters' ideology; it has a positive duty to protect those exercising their right to peaceful assembly, even if they are promoting unpopular positions. Similarly, States may violate their duty to protect by failing to investigate allegations of rights violations and to hold the perpetrators accountable, by ignoring retaliation against victims of violations and by failing to ensure the protection of rights for certain groups.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also refers to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights list of administrative controls that should be put in place at the State level to ensure use of force during public assemblies on an exceptional basis. Among others, "(a) implementation of mechanisms to prohibit, in an effective manner, the use of lethal force as recourse in public demonstrations; (b) implementation of an ammunition registration and control system; (c) implementation of a communications records system to monitor operational orders, those responsible for them, and those carrying them out".

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur further warns against imposing a state of emergency during election time, in order to temporarily suspend the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly. Should this nevertheless occur, he recalls that, according to the Human Rights Committee, during a state of emergency, the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association should not be derogated since the possibility of restricting certain Covenant rights under the terms of, for instance, freedom of assembly, is generally sufficient during such situations and no derogation from the provisions in question would be justified by the exigencies of the situation.

The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- The freedom to assemble peacefully is required in order for consultations among stakeholders to be convened. The ability to peacefully assemble is impeded in environments where insecurity and conflict prevails.. The neutrality of the consultations needs to be maintained throughout the process. For consent to be free, prior and informed, consultations should be conducted in an environment free of intimidation or fear, meaning that meetings should be free from infiltration by security organs, surveillance and attendance by uniformed or armed law enforcement agents. A level playing field should be ensured for all stakeholders to have free access to relevant information and assurances that their grievances will be heard.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- State restrictions on assembly and association rights, including the right to strike, frequently exceed parameters set by ILO Convention 87 and decades of case law. In countries where the right to strike is not legally prohibited, Governments attempt to justify restrictions in the name of public order, public security, the threat of terrorism, national interest or economic crisis.

The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 16
- Paragraph text
- The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are not absolute, meaning that not only can they be temporarily derogated from in a state of emergency, but they can also be exceptionally interfered with under other circumstances. While they are human rights guaranteed to all, their exercise may be subject to certain restrictions. Such restrictions are permitted if they are necessary for a number of public purposes, including the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, as long as they are proportionate and provided for by law. Security and emergency laws, measures aimed at curtailing the financing of international terrorism, anti-money-laundering regulations and other limitations restrictive of civic space in the name of general public purposes, however, do not, as such, justify systematic violations of the freedom of peaceful assembly and of association.

- Paragraph text
- Country-specific contexts sometimes extinguish the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. In situations of armed conflict, individuals who desire to assemble and associate freely, even to address emergency needs or to call for the end of violence, may meet drastic restrictions that may amount to a strict denial of their rights.

The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- More generally, her mandate has an important prevention and early warning role to play in the discharge of the responsibility to protect, as it is uniquely placed to collect a wealth of information on issues linked to the freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, including gaps in protection, swiftly deteriorating situations and the scale, the nature and patterns of violations. The Special Rapporteur will, when necessary, call the attention of the relevant bodies, including the Security Council, to such situations and request that they address, and take immediate action in response to, the risks and violations identified.
