The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 87a (ii)
- Paragraph text
- [The Special Rapporteur calls, therefore, upon multilateral institutions to:] Implement thorough and consistent policies that emphasize the importance of substantive engagement with civil society organizations and recognize that participation at the multilateral level is an inherent component of the right to freedom of association. Such a policy should grant civil society: Access to all meetings, processes and bodies (including through the final stages of decision-making) at all levels;

The right to access information 2013, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- While reviewing multiple experiences that promote the right to access information, experts have developed some core principles to guide the design and implementation of relevant laws and practices. The same principles had been endorsed and presented to the Commission on Human Rights by the Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression in 2000 and were further reflected in other declarations prepared by international mechanisms for promoting freedom of expression. The Special Rapporteur considers that these principles continue to represent a crucial tool for translating into practice the various human rights obligations concerning the right to information.

The right to access information 2013, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- The inclusion of vaguely defined or inappropriate exceptions in national laws on access to information is also a common obstacle that seriously compromises the impact of the instruments. Inappropriate exceptions include, for example, reference to the protection of good relations with other States and intergovernmental organizations. As mentioned above, the widespread and unspecified use of national security concerns as a reason for the denial of access to information is another common occurrence. Some laws explicitly exclude some public bodies from the ambit of national norms, preventing consideration of whether information pertaining to those bodies should be disclosed at all.

The right to access information 2013, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- The recurrent use of national security concerns as a justification for the denial of access to various types of information predicates a need to study carefully the promotion of confidentiality on such grounds. Widespread secrecy justified on national security grounds is particularly problematic in the context of investigations of human rights violations because it may represent one of the main obstacles to the clarification of responsibilities and consequences of serious violations, ultimately becoming a barrier to the promotion of justice and reparation.

The right to access information 2013, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- Although national security is a legitimate State concern, one of the main challenges faced when information is classified on national security grounds has frequently been the lack of transparency of the process as a whole. In cases of human rights violations, the situation may occur whereby those who decide to classify such information could belong or be linked to the entities allegedly responsible for the violations. The persistent denial of information on human rights violations potentially involving national security bodies often weakens public trust in these institutions, ultimately reversing the alleged justification for secrecy.

Freedom of expression, States and the private sector in the digital age 2016, para. 77
- Paragraph text
- Private companies play a major role in the development, production and transfer of software and hardware that Governments may deploy for law enforcement, intelligence and public security purposes. While such tools may have legitimate purposes, they are often deployed by Governments for purposes of censorship and disproportionate surveillance. Future work will explore such issues through the human rights framework and encourage due diligence in identifying the uses of such technologies for purposes that undermine freedom of expression.

Freedom of expression, States and the private sector in the digital age 2016, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- State surveillance and corporate data collection and retention raise substantial issues of freedom of expression. For instance, how do States conduct surveillance activities with the cooperation of the private sector, and how does such cooperation have an impact on freedom of expression? What are the responsibilities of private actors when they discover that States covertly access Internet and telecommunications data transmitted or stored on their networks or platforms? What are the responsibilities of the private sector to protect security and anonymity online?

Freedom of expression, States and the private sector in the digital age 2016, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- Transparency can help ensure that subjects of Internet regulation are able to meaningfully predict their legal obligations and challenge them where appropriate. Gaps in compliance with these standards threaten the ability of individuals to understand the limits placed on their freedom of expression online and seek appropriate redress when their rights are violated. Transparency issues arise in both State and private sector contexts, such as public-private partnerships, private sector engagement in trade negotiations and the digital arms race.

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 exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 7
- Paragraph text
- In recent times, non-State actors have challenged the State-centric approach to global governance and are demanding a place at the negotiating table. Civil society in particular insists that discussions and decisions of multilateral institutions should focus on people's concerns and human rights rather than being confined to geopolitical and economic interests that primarily occupy States and corporations. The Special Rapporteur believes that the concept of multilateralism should be expanded beyond action by States alone to include the effective participation of a variety of voices within those States. With this in mind, the report highlights the challenges experienced by civil society actors in having an effective voice at the multilateral level.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also believes that a pro-civil society organization culture within multilateral organizations is crucial. Such a culture should be rooted in the attitude that the organization is an agent dedicated to upholding ideals and effecting change, rather than a bureaucracy built to maintain the status quo. There must also be a willingness to call out Member States who fail to respect fundamental rights. Stating that some issues are "too political" - as the World Bank allegedly did when Human Rights Watch warned them that the Government was closing space for civil society in Egypt - is not acceptable. Finally, it should be acknowledged that a strong civil society sector is essential for multilateral institutions' effectiveness, as it is often the best source of information on the ground.

Comparative study of enabling environments for associations and businesses 2015, para. 10
- Paragraph text
- Nonetheless, the Special Rapporteur has observed that many governments make greater efforts to help the business sector grow and succeed. A comparison with how governments treat associations makes the business sector's privileged status even more marked: non-profit associations' registration hurdles are often more burdensome; their ability to access resources is frequently limited and their operations may be more closely monitored by the authorities. The important question is why, as the answer has significant implications for the realization of the 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. 11
- Paragraph text
- Fundamentalism can motivate violations of assembly and association rights by both State and non-State actors, though the distinction between each type of perpetrator is not always obvious. What is clear, however, is that fundamentalism - whether State-sponsored or not - poses the greatest threat to the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association when it becomes closely allied with power; that is, when it is adopted or even tacitly approved by some entity with the authority or means to impose, directly or indirectly, involuntary adherence to fundamentalist values.

Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- International human rights law places the primary obligation for the respect, protection and fulfilment of rights on the State. In the context of fundamentalism, this obligation may appear to be somewhat distorted owing to the fact that some human rights abuses come at the hands of non-State actors. But the obligation of States to protect and facilitate peaceful assembly and association rights includes a duty to ensure that private individuals do not violate these rights. To discharge their duties in that respect, States should, among other things, enact robust national laws that stipulate clearly the rights and responsibilities of all, create independent and effective enforcement and adjudicatory mechanisms, and ensure effective remedies for violations of rights.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur commends the work undertaken by organizations and individuals to reveal the worldwide status of online impediments to the right to freedom of expression. He encourages intermediaries in particular to disclose details regarding content removal requests and accessibility of websites. Additionally, he recommends corporations to establish clear and unambiguous terms of service in line with international human rights norms and principles and to continuously review the impact of their services and technologies on the right to freedom of expression of their users, as well as on the potential pitfalls involved when they are misused. The Special Rapporteur believes that such transparency will help promote greater accountability and respect for human rights.

The right to access information 2013, para. 12
- Paragraph text
- Historically, in particular in countries that have experienced situations of serious and systematic human rights violations, lack of access to information and, often, the circulation of misinformation, have been central issues for subsequent governments and society as a whole when seeking to address the past and constitute an important challenge in the transitional justice process. Over the years, especially following the transition to democracy experienced by countries in Latin America and Eastern Europe in the 1980s and 1990s, the right to the truth has been recognized in a number of forums and documents as a distinct right.

The right to access information 2013, para. 93
- Paragraph text
- Given that the enjoyment of human rights also implies responsibilities, and is based on the principles of universality, equality and interdependence, there is a shared responsibility in denouncing human rights violations whenever they occur. Such responsibility is of greater importance in the case of public officials. Therefore, the disclosure in good faith of relevant information relating to human rights violations should be accorded protection from liability. On the other hand, the silence of State officials on violations that they witness can be interpreted as complicity. Transitions to peace and democracy based on silence over past crimes, atrocities or impunity are not sustainable.

The implications of States’ surveillance of communications on the exercise of the human rights to privacy and to freedom of opinion and expression 2013, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- In its General Comment No. 34 (2011) on the right to freedom of expression, the Human Rights Committee indicated that States parties should take account of the extent to which developments in information and communication technologies have substantially changed communication practices. The Committee also called on States parties to take all necessary steps to foster the independence of these new media. The General Comment also analyses the relationship between the protection of privacy and freedom of expression, and recommends that States parties respect that element of the right of freedom of expression that embraces the limited journalistic privilege not to disclose information sources.

Contemporary challenges to freedom of expression 2016, para. 20
- Paragraph text
- State assertions that national security or public order justifies interference with personal security and privacy are common in cases of surveillance of personal communications, encryption and anonymity, subjects addressed in my report to the Human Rights Council in 2015 (A/HRC/29/32), in my predecessor's report in 2013 (see A/HRC/23/40) and in the report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the right to privacy in the digital age (A/HRC/27/37). Surveillance, including both bulk collection of data and targeted attacks on specific individuals or communities, interferes directly with the privacy and security necessary for freedom of opinion and expression, and always requires evaluation under article 19. I am concerned that practice often fails to meet such standards. A law recently adopted in the Russian Federation imposes a duty on Internet providers to decrypt communications, apparently requiring the establishment of encryption back doors that will likely disproportionately undermine all users' security. Both the United Kingdom and France have proposed to provide their law enforcement and intelligence officials with the authority to require companies to grant them access to encrypted communications of their users (see A/HRC/29/32, para. 45). Brazil prohibits anonymity entirely as a matter of constitutional law online and offline (ibid., para. 49). I understand that some of these efforts involve genuine commitments to preventing terrorism or guaranteeing public order, but the Governments have not demonstrated that interference with Internet security is a necessary or proportionate measure in the light of the specific threats caused to privacy and freedom of expression.

- Paragraph text
- [Among steps that I would encourage are the following:] Support independent media and civic space. In the face of State repression of reporting, it is critical that States make an extra effort to support independent voices in the media and civil society at large. At a minimum, I encourage States to avoid imposing restrictions on reporting and research that may be seen to criticize the Government and its policies or to share information about sensitive subjects, including terrorism. States should especially avoid imposing obstacles, such as accreditation procedures or penalties through defamation lawsuits or intermediary liability, that undermine independent media. At the same time, those with the means - such as private donors and foundations - should make a special effort to support independent media and to foster strong scrutiny of media conglomerations that squeeze out the less well-financed outlets;

Ability of associations to access financial resources as a vital part of the right to freedom of association & Ability to hold peaceful assemblies as an integral component of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly 2013, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- Another inappropriate requirement attached to the notification process is informally or formally imposing on the organizers the expectation to negotiate the time and place of the assembly with the authorities. Such requirement would be tantamount to restricting the planned assembly and would need to pass the strict test of necessity and proportionality, as defined in article 21 of the Covenant, which is applicable to restrictions. The Special Rapporteur also warns against authorities proposing an alternative time and place for an assembly, when processing a notification, as this would also be imposing restrictions on the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and should satisfy the aforementioned test.

- Paragraph text
- In general, restrictions on and exclusions from the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association have the consequence of reinforcing marginalization. The inverse is also true and more compelling: marginalization often means that individuals and groups are unable to effectively exercise their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. That interrelation is evident in the illustrative examples discussed in the following sections. The ability to exercise the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association constitutes a key component in the empowerment of marginalized communities and individuals.

- National security laws may also be misused to protect business interests to the detriment of associations. The Special Rapporteur has received reports that laws in Canada and Indonesia protecting vital national interests are often misused to protect private business interests at the expense of civil society groups exercising their rights to peaceful assembly and association. The Special Rapporteur sees this as symptomatic of a trend towards some States viewing certain business interests as a more compelling "strategic national interest" than the protection of fundamental rights.

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.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- When two pieces of legislation conflict, the gaps between them may provide an opportunity for rights violations to occur. States have an obligation to maintain clear and consistent standards in favour of assembly and association rights for all workers, across all laws, policies and practices. In the Philippines, the lack of policy coherence at the national level has resulted in conflicting policies on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association for public-sector workers. The executive order governing public-sector unions recognizes the right to collective bargaining agreements, but the Department of Budget Management imposes limits and budgetary restrictions, effectively undermining the right to negotiate in the public sector.

- The Special Rapporteur himself has extensively documented the trend, looking at the growing restrictions on civil society's ability to access resources (see A/HRC/23/39), restrictions on assembly and association rights in the context of elections (see A/68/299), States' propensity to favour businesses over non-profit organizations (see A/70/266) and restrictions on people's ability to engage in regard to natural resource exploitation (see A/HRC/29/25). The effect of this growing wave of restrictions is that people now have less space to peacefully engage in regard to decisions that profoundly affect their lives.
