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.

Comparative study of enabling environments for associations and businesses 2015, para. 106
- Paragraph text
- He believes that these differences are motivated more by politics than practicality. Economic and commercial interests are prized over what are perceived as non-economic activities. Consequently, the influence and opinions of industry take precedence in State policy over social justice and fundamental rights. This approach ignores the fact that a vibrant civil society is essential for sustainable economic development, and that businesses benefit from an empowered civil society sector.

Challenges faced by groups most at risk when exercising or seeking to exercise the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and/or of association 2014, para. 74g
- Paragraph text
- [In relation to recommendations pertaining to the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, the Special Rapporteur reiterates all the recommendations contained in his previous thematic reports. They are all the more relevant for individuals belonging to groups most at risk whose rights are more likely to be violated or unduly restricted. In particular, he calls upon States to:] Ensure that individuals belonging to groups most at risk who are victims of violations and abuse of their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association have the right to a timely and effective remedy and obtain redress.

The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- The significance of civil society as a stakeholder in the context of natural resource exploitation is underestimated, misperceived and often denied by both States and businesses. This is symptomatic of a growing disregard for a plurality of views, particularly those which champion non-economic values over economic ones. Such disregard is counterproductive and divisive, and is likely contributing to an erosion of confidence in the world's prevailing economic system. It is thus in the interest of both States and corporations to recognize actions by civil society groups both in support of and against the entire decision-making chain in natural resource governance, as a legitimate exercise by these individuals and groups of their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association.

Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur emphasizes that the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are due to everyone without distinction. This includes both those who hold fundamentalist views and those who hold differing views. The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association play a key role in promoting tolerance, broadmindedness, diversity and pluralism. States must walk a fine line in balancing the rights of various groups and must ensure that one group is not favoured, either in policy or in practice. Such rights must therefore not only be protected but also facilitated.

- Paragraph text
- The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association play a key role in empowering individuals belonging to groups most at risk to claim other rights and overcome the challenges associated with marginalization. Such rights must therefore not only be protected, but also facilitated. It is the responsibility of all stakeholders to ensure that the voices of individuals belonging to groups most at risk are heard, and taken into account, in compliance with the principles of pluralism of views, tolerance, broadmindedness and equity.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 97
- Paragraph text
- Despite that, States generally prioritize economic and corporate interests at the expense of workers' rights, a counterproductive approach that exacerbates poverty and inequality. This situation must be urgently addressed, both to allow people to exercise their rights and to ensure the viability of the world's economic system. In this spirit, the Special Rapporteur calls upon States, multilateral organizations, businesses and other stakeholders to commit themselves to creating the best possible enabling environment for the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace. The Special Rapporteur proposes the following recommendations as steps towards realizing those goals.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur wishes to underscore the fact that electoral periods are a unique moment in the life of a nation to confirm, and even strengthen, democratic principles, such as non-discrimination, gender equality, pluralism of views and parity. Democracy is a singular way of allowing for effective popular participation in decision-making processes at both national and local levels. He stresses that electoral periods are such an important time to build democratic, responsive and accountable institutions and that very strict and clear safeguards should be put in place by States to prevent undue interference in public freedoms, in particular in the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. Further, in times of elections, States should make greater efforts to facilitate and protect the exercise of these core rights, which should be enjoyed by everyone, especially by members of groups at risk. In effect, genuine elections cannot be achieved if the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are curtailed.

- Paragraph text
- Moreover, the Special Rapporteur believes that the "Arab Spring", and the "occupy movement" which subsequently flourished in many parts of the world, have opened a door which will never be closed. They provide a non-violent alternative for change as well as give authorities a chance to understand the views and feelings of citizens. These events indelibly confirmed that holding peaceful assemblies is a legitimate and powerful means to make calls for democratic change; greater respect for human rights, including economic, social and cultural ones; and accountability for human rights violations and abuses. The ability to hold such assemblies has proven particularly crucial for groups most at risk of violations and discrimination enabling them to address their often desperate plight in a meaningful manner.
