Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 21
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Human Rights Committee has stated that the positive obligations of States parties "will only be fully discharged if individuals are protected by the State, not just against violations of Covenant rights by its agents, but also against acts committed by private persons or entities that would impair the enjoyment of Covenant rights". States parties' failure to take appropriate measures or exercise due diligence to prevent, punish, investigate or redress the harm caused by non-State actors may constitute a violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women has affirmed that "States may also be responsible for private acts if they fail to act with due diligence to prevent violations of rights or to investigate and punish acts of violence, and for providing compensation". The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has found similarly.
