The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral institutions 2014, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- A human rights activist from Malaysia noted that in his country he felt that there are no "good" or "bad" experiences in dealing with multilateral institutions; there are simply "no experiences". The lack of a local presence means that power and access remains concentrated at headquarters - many located in North America and Western Europe, two of the world's regions for which it is most difficult to obtain visas. Efforts to bridge this geographic gap have been mixed. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur encourages the increased use of information technology and the creation of independent grant schemes to fund a more diverse array of civil society organizations to participate in multilateral consultations and events.
