Comparative study of enabling environments for associations and businesses 2015, para. 106
- Paragraph text
- He believes that these differences are motivated more by politics than practicality. Economic and commercial interests are prized over what are perceived as non-economic activities. Consequently, the influence and opinions of industry take precedence in State policy over social justice and fundamental rights. This approach ignores the fact that a vibrant civil society is essential for sustainable economic development, and that businesses benefit from an empowered civil society sector.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 97
- Paragraph text
- Despite that, States generally prioritize economic and corporate interests at the expense of workers' rights, a counterproductive approach that exacerbates poverty and inequality. This situation must be urgently addressed, both to allow people to exercise their rights and to ensure the viability of the world's economic system. In this spirit, the Special Rapporteur calls upon States, multilateral organizations, businesses and other stakeholders to commit themselves to creating the best possible enabling environment for the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace. The Special Rapporteur proposes the following recommendations as steps towards realizing those goals.

Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur emphasizes that the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are due to everyone without distinction. This includes both those who hold fundamentalist views and those who hold differing views. The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association play a key role in promoting tolerance, broadmindedness, diversity and pluralism. States must walk a fine line in balancing the rights of various groups and must ensure that one group is not favoured, either in policy or in practice. Such rights must therefore not only be protected but also facilitated.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur wishes to underscore the fact that electoral periods are a unique moment in the life of a nation to confirm, and even strengthen, democratic principles, such as non-discrimination, gender equality, pluralism of views and parity. Democracy is a singular way of allowing for effective popular participation in decision-making processes at both national and local levels. He stresses that electoral periods are such an important time to build democratic, responsive and accountable institutions and that very strict and clear safeguards should be put in place by States to prevent undue interference in public freedoms, in particular in the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. Further, in times of elections, States should make greater efforts to facilitate and protect the exercise of these core rights, which should be enjoyed by everyone, especially by members of groups at risk. In effect, genuine elections cannot be achieved if the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are curtailed.

- Paragraph text
- Moreover, the Special Rapporteur believes that the "Arab Spring", and the "occupy movement" which subsequently flourished in many parts of the world, have opened a door which will never be closed. They provide a non-violent alternative for change as well as give authorities a chance to understand the views and feelings of citizens. These events indelibly confirmed that holding peaceful assemblies is a legitimate and powerful means to make calls for democratic change; greater respect for human rights, including economic, social and cultural ones; and accountability for human rights violations and abuses. The ability to hold such assemblies has proven particularly crucial for groups most at risk of violations and discrimination enabling them to address their often desperate plight in a meaningful manner.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 9
- Paragraph text
- In the present report, the Special Rapporteur focuses on the role of associations broadly, including political parties, as central vehicles through which individuals can take part in the conduct of peaceful affairs through chosen representatives. Political parties have an essential role to play "in ensuring pluralism and the proper functioning of democracy". The present report adopts the definition of a political party as "a free association of persons, one of the aims of which is to participate in the management of public affairs, including through the presentation of candidates to free and democratic elections". Of significance is the fact that a political party is an "association" (A/HRC/20/27, paras. 51-52), albeit a specialized one that may be regulated by separate legislation and that is subject to rules different from those of other associations. The Special Rapporteur considers the key difference between political parties and other associations to be the ability of political parties to present candidates for elections and to subsequently form governments, should those candidates win in genuine elections. Hence, he stresses that the engagement of civil society organizations in the electoral process should not lead to their being involuntary labelled or treated as political parties simply as a result of their having participated in public life in the way in which they have chosen.

- According to article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the right of peaceful assembly and the right to freedom of association are not absolute rights. Resolution 15/21 (OP 4) makes clear that they "can be subject to certain restrictions, which are prescribed by law and which are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, public order (ordre public), the protection of public health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others".

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 12
- Paragraph text
- In its resolution 15/21, the Human Rights Council calls upon States to respect and fully protect the rights of all individuals to assemble peacefully and associate freely, including in the context of elections. In addition to the notion of democracy, the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are implicit in the right to take part in the Government of one's country, as affirmed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states in article 21 (3) that "[t]he will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures". Similarly, article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights affirms every citizen's right without prohibited distinctions and unreasonable restrictions: (a) to take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives; (b) to vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors; and (c) to have access, on general terms of equality, to public service in his country. The Human Rights Committee recognizes that the full enjoyment of those rights depends on the free communication of information and ideas about public and political issues between citizens, candidates and elected representatives, which requires the free exercise of the rights to peaceful assembly and association, among other rights (general comment No. 25, para. 25). The General Assembly, in its resolution 59/201 declared that freedom of association and peaceful assembly were essential elements of democracy, together with the right to vote and to be elected at genuine periodic free elections, and encouraged the strengthening of political party systems and civil society organizations.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- Everyone has the right to form or join a political party and conversely, no one should be compelled to belong to a political party. The Human Rights Committee, in its general comment No. 25 (para. 26), has stated that political parties and membership in parties play a significant role in the conduct of public affairs and the election process. Political parties are indeed the primary vehicles through which people can participate in the conduct of public affairs. The Special Rapporteur recognises political parties as a subset of associations included in the right to freedom of association enshrined in article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. As such, the principles and minimum standards elaborated by the Special Rapporteur in his thematic report on best practices (A/HRC/20/27) generally apply to the regulation of political parties. Nevertheless, political parties are organizations formed to carry out particular objectives, that is, presenting candidates for elections in order to be represented in political institutions and to exercise political power on any level, national or local, and may therefore be subject to specific requirements not necessary for other civil society organizations. According to the European Court of Human Rights, it is in the nature of the role they play that political parties, the only bodies which can come to power, also have the capacity to influence the whole of the regime in their countries. By the proposals for an overall societal model which they put before the electorate and by their capacity to implement those proposals once they come to power, political parties differ from other organizations which intervene in the political arena.

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. 66
- Paragraph text
- Access to public space means concretely that organizers and participants should be able to use public streets, roads and squares to conduct (static or moving) peaceful assemblies. The Special Rapporteur believes that spaces in the vicinity of iconic buildings such as presidential palaces, parliaments or memorials should also be considered public space, and peaceful assemblies should be allowed to take place in those locations. In this regard, the imposition of restrictions on "time, place and manner" should meet the aforementioned strict test of necessity and proportionality. In Kenya, protesters have been temporarily prohibited from gathering around the Supreme Court as they awaited a decision, as well as from other public places.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of elections 2013, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- In his second thematic report (A/HRC/23/39), the Special Rapporteur identified the ability of associations to access financial resources as an integral element of the right to freedom of association. The question of funding has far-reaching consequences on the right to freedom of association for political parties in the context of elections. Funding ensures that political parties are able to function on a day-to-day basis, to participate in the political arena, to represent a plurality of views, interests and perspectives, thus strengthening democracy. Funding may also have perverse effects on democratic potential, requiring certain regulation. The Special Rapporteur shares the view of the Human Rights Committee, in general comment No. 25 (para. 19) that reasonable limitations on campaign expenditure may be justified where this is necessary to ensure that the free choice of voters is not undermined or the democratic process distorted by the disproportionate expenditure on behalf of any candidate or party.

- Paragraph text
- In order to provide robust protection to civic engagement at the multilateral level, it must be recognized that freedom of peaceful assembly and of association are inextricably intertwined with the right to take part in the conduct of public affairs, the right to freedom of opinion and expression, the right of access to information and other relevant rights, such as articles 25 and 19 of the International Covenant. The Human Rights Committee, in general comment 25, paragraph 5, recognizes the right to participate in public affairs to cover "all aspects of public administration, and the formulation and implementation of policy at international, national, regional and local levels". Similarly, the freedoms of opinion and expression are necessary components to ensuring that civic voices are heard at the multilateral platforms. For civil society to engage effectively in global decision-making, the right to access information is indispensable.

- States have the primary role in preventing or halting violations of workers' rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, with clear obligations to protect, promote, facilitate and fulfil those rights, even in the global economy. Yet workers' ability to exercise their rights is in precipitous decline. Many States place obstacles, both in law and practice, that restrict workers' rights or fail to enforce laws protecting those rights. The International Trade Union Confederation found that 50 of 141 countries surveyed had such restrictions.
