Paragraph text
More specifically, the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are a critical means for individuals and groups of individuals to participate in public affairs. The exercise of such rights provides avenues through which people can aggregate and voice their concerns and interests and endeavour to fashion governance that responds to their issues. For example, such rights are essential in order to campaign and participate in public rallies, form political parties, participate in voter education activities, cast votes, observe and monitor elections and hold candidates and elected officials accountable.
