Paragraph
Challenges faced by groups most at risk when exercising or seeking to exercise the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and/or of association 2014, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- Such provisions are in clear violation of international human rights law. In that regard, the Human Rights Committee stated that "the reference to 'sex' in articles 2, paragraph 1, and 26 [of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights] is to be taken as including sexual orientation". Since then, in numerous concluding observations, the Committee has urged State parties to guarantee equal rights to all individuals, as established in the Covenant, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Paragraph
Challenges faced by groups most at risk when exercising or seeking to exercise the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and/or of association 2014, para. 17
- Paragraph text
- The Human Rights Committee understands "discrimination" to imply "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference which is based on any ground such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, and which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by all persons, on an equal footing, of all rights and freedoms". The Committee has established that sexual orientation and gender identity also constitute prohibited grounds for discrimination under article 2 of the Covenant. Discrimination results from legislation and practices that explicitly exclude or target groups or individuals in those groups.

Paragraph
Best practices that promote and protect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2012, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- According to ILO jurisprudence, decisions to dissolve labour organizations "should only occur in extremely serious cases; such dissolutions should only happen following a judicial decision so that the rights of defence are fully guaranteed". The Special Rapporteur values as best practice legislation that stipulates that such drastic measures be taken by independent and impartial courts. In the United Republic of Tanzania, the case of an association working on gender equality that had been deregistered by the authorities was successfully overturned by the Constitutional Court.
