Title: Guidelines on Freedom of Peaceful Assembly
Published: March 2007
Author: Neil Jarman
Details:
The right to assemble peacefully is an essential condition for the exercise of other human rights such as the freedom of expression. As a true foundation of democracy, the right to assemble is guaranteed by major human rights treaties and by a commitment made by OSCE participating States in 1990, in Copenhagen. These Guidelines on Freedom of Peaceful Assembly are a new cornerstone of this assistance, adding to the ODIHR's Legislationline.org database, where lawmakers can obtain examples from other countries' legislation that can help them prepare legislation regulating the exercise of the freedom of assembly.
Neil Jarman chairs the international panel on freedom of assembly at the Office of Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, part of the Organisation of Security and Co-operation in Europe. They recently produced a set of guidelines on freedom of assembly legislation, available in English and Russian.
