Paragraph
The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 14
- Paragraph text
- Further, the lack of effective cross-border and national legal and enforcement frameworks rewards and spreads non-compliance, even lawlessness. Violence by State and private actors against trade unionists, rights activists and peacefully striking workers often deals the final blow to workers' attempts to exercise their assembly and association rights.

Paragraph
The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- Furthermore, perceived leaders of movements or protests are often subjected to particularly egregious violations of their rights, such as disappearances and arbitrary killings in an effort by States and corporations to intimidate and thus disrupt organized efforts to resist exploitation activities. In Orissa, India, anti-mining campaigners have been killed, and 42 women defenders at the forefront of demonstrations against dams were jailed for protesting (see A/HRC/19/55/Add.1, para. 76).

Paragraph
The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 77
- Paragraph text
- At times State authorities actually bolster employers' efforts to restrict workers' peaceful assembly and association rights. In 2013, in Algeria, police violently dispersed a peaceful protest of the Contractual Workers Union at a Government compound, and arrested 20 people. In Nigeria, on 19 May 2016, police beat, tear-gassed and arrested members of the Nigerian Labour Congress who were peacefully demonstrating, claiming that workers had not obtained police clearance to hold the protest. The Special Rapporteur stresses that the right to peaceful assembly is fundamental; its exercise does not require the permission of the State (A/HRC/32/36/Add.1, para. 17).
