Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur emphasizes that the right to freedom of association applies equally to associations that are not registered (A/HRC/20/27, para. 96). He endorses as best practice a voluntary registration regime that permits unregistered associations to operate. The Special Rapporteur notes with approval the recent ruling by a magistrate's court in Zimbabwe, quashing charges of running an unregistered organization preferred against a member of the Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe association.
