Factsheet: Multilateral organizations & FoAA rights (General Assembly report – Oct. 2014)

The Special Rapporteur’s factsheet summarizing the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of multilateral organization, presented in an easy-to use “yes/no” format, with hyperlinks to source materials.

This factsheet draws heavily from the Special Rapporteur’s 2014 report to the UN General Assembly and features guidance on:

• • Multilateral organizations’ obligations to uphold assembly and association rights – and what that means in practice
• • Multilaterals’ responsibilities when member states police assemblies targeted at the multilateral institution itself
• • The status of private multilaterals, such as the International Olympic Committee
• • Comparative access for business and civil society
• • And more

The factsheet also summarizes the report’s recommendations and highlights key statistics in a “by the numbers” feature.
