Comparative study of enabling environments for associations and businesses 2015, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- The Registrar of Societies in Malaysia has absolute discretion to revoke the registration of societies which "in his opinion" are being used for purposes prejudicial to or "incompatible with the interest of the security of Malaysia or any part thereof, public order or morality". The law provides no recourse to the courts. The dissolution of companies may be ordered for similar reasons, but only after the issuance of a court order.

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.

Best practices that promote and protect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2012, para. 15
- Paragraph text
- 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".

Best practices that promote and protect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2012, para. 35
- Paragraph text
- The right to life (art. 3 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and art. 6 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) and the right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (art. 5 of the Declaration and art. 7 of the Covenant) should be the overarching principles governing the policing of public assemblies, as stated by several countries. In this regard, soft law provisions - the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials (in particular articles 2 and 3) and the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials (in particular principles 4, 9 and 13) - aim at guiding law enforcement officials when policing peaceful protests. In this connection, the Inter-American Court on Human Rights stated that the "pretext of maintenance of public security cannot be invoked to violate the right to life … the State must ensure that, if it is necessary to resort to physical means ... members of its armed forces and its security bodies will use only those means that are indispensable to control such situations in a rational and proportional manner, and respecting the rights to life and to humane treatment". The Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions also stated that "the only circumstances warranting the use of firearms, including during demonstrations, is the imminent threat of death or serious injury" (A/HRC/17/28, para. 60). With regard to the use of tear gas, the Special Rapporteur recalls that gas does not discriminate between demonstrators and non-demonstrators, healthy people and people with health conditions. He also warns against any modification of the chemical composition of the gas for the sole purpose of inflicting severe pain on protestors and, indirectly, bystanders.

Among others, "(a) implementation of mechanisms to prohibit, in an effective manner, the use of lethal force as recourse in public demonstrations; (b) implementation of an ammunition registration and control system; (c) implementation of a communications records system to monitor operational orders, those responsible for them, and those carrying them out".

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.

- Paragraph text
- The maintenance of peace during the voting process is necessary for the electorate to turn out and exercise their right to vote. Nevertheless, although important, it should not provide a justification for continuing electoral malpractices and unjustifiable restrictions on the rights to peaceful assembly and of association or other rights, for example, unlimited and uncontrolled bans on protests or demonstrations against election results. Where such rights are violated at any point during the electoral process, prompt and effective remedies should be available and accessible, presided over by impartial arbiters.

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.

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. 65
- Paragraph text
- A key measure with regard to facilitating the holding of peaceful assemblies is to make public space available for organizers and participants. The Special Rapporteur deems it useful to refer again to an important decision of the Spanish Constitutional Court which stated that "in a democratic society, the urban space is not only an area for circulation, but also for participation". The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) also stressed that although the exercise of the right of assembly can sometimes be disruptive to the normal routine of daily life, or may even cause problems or affect the exercise of other rights that the State has an obligation to protect and ensure, such as freedom of movement, "such disruptions are part of the mechanics of a pluralistic society in which diverse and sometimes conflicting interests coexist and find the forums and channels in which to express themselves". Furthermore, the Human Rights Council in its resolution 22/10 urged States to facilitate peaceful protests by providing protestors with access to public space and protecting them, where necessary, against any forms of threats, and underlined the role of local authorities in this regard. The issue of access to public space is all the more important in light of the increased privatization of public space in many States, where peaceful assemblies have been curtailed through the use by private bodies, both companies and individuals, of civil injunctions, which can be difficult to challenge, coupled with the issue of aggravated trespass, as in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, for example.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 13
- Paragraph text
- The similarities in restrictions on civic space at the national and international levels suggest an interrelationship between the effective exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association at the national level, and the effective participation by civil society at the multilateral level. Enabling environments for civil society should exist at both these levels. With the increased interconnectedness in domestic and international affairs, and with decision-making at the international level having a significant impact in national policies and practices, it is essential that such decisions are made in a transparent, accountable and participatory manner. The Special Rapporteur wishes to emphasize the legitimacy of civic action at the international level and underscores the need for States to listen to the views and voices of their constituents, whether they are expressed at the domestic or the international level.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 14
- 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.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 15
- 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.

The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes that requirements to obtain prior authorization before gatherings related to the exploitation of natural resources - such as information sessions, consultations, public hearings and the like - not only infringe on the right to freedom of peaceful assembly, they also impede the right of affected communities to access information and participate in decision-making. In Uganda, non-governmental organizations working on oil issues are reportedly required by authorities to seek permission, in particular from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development before they can meet with grassroots communities, although the authorities have made efforts to remedy this situation.

- Paragraph text
- 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.

The Special Rapporteur recalls that, according to the Human Rights Committee, during a state of emergency, the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association shall not be derogated since "the possibility of restricting certain Covenant rights under the terms of, for instance … freedom of assembly is generally sufficient during such situations and no derogation from the provisions in question would be justified by the exigencies of the situation".
