The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 14
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur thus believes that the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association - guaranteed at the national level in articles 21 and 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - are equally fundamental, and protected, at the international level. These rights are necessary in order to aggregate and amplify the voices of those who would otherwise not be heard on the multilateral stage. As the Special Rapporteur has stated previously, they serve as a vehicle for the exercise of many other civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights (see A/HRC/20/27). At the heart of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association is the obligation for States to create and ensure environments in which civil society can exist and thrive.
