FAQ explaining international standards and freedom of #peacefulassembly in #HongKong by@hrichina #GeneralComment37 https://t.co/b51DkhZ9IW
3/ Also, as highlighted in #GeneralComment37 by #UNHRC, States parties are obliged to allow peaceful assemblies without unwarranted interference and facilitate the exercise of the right while protecting participants.
Proposals to prevent individuals travelling to #protest fly in the face of international human rights law: #Article21 ICCPR protects #peacefulassembly (not merely lawful assembly) which, by their scale or nature, cause disruption #GeneralComment37 https://t.co/vHglPtx4pe

The restriction must also be on a permissible ground under the #ICCPR (and BOR). While this includes in the interest of national security/ public safety/ public order, the bar is very high and the rules must balance in favor of protecting fundamental rights #GeneralComment37 /5
The restriction must be proportionate: if the impact of the govt interference (numerous arrests of peaceful protesters, convictions & resultant stifling of free expression and assembly) outweighs the benefit, the restriction is impermissible #GeneralComment37 #HongKong /4
Any restrictions to #freedomofassembly must be narrowly tailored and assessed against their necessity in a democratic society, the rule of law, political pluralism, and human rights, not just "being merely reasonable or expedient" (#GeneralComment37) #HongKong /2
How do #UN standards create safeguards for #right2freeassembly?

20/22 Indeed, #GeneralComment37 expressly recognizes that “collective civil disobedience or direct action campaigns can be covered by article 21, provided that they are non-violent” (#GeneralComment37, para 16)
19/22 #GeneralComment37 emphasizes that “if the conduct of participants in an assembly is peaceful, the fact that certain domestic legal requirements … have not been met …does not, on its own, place the participants outside the scope of the protection of article 21” (para 16)
17/22 #GeneralComment37 further requires that “the imposition of any restrictions should be guided by the objective of facilitating the right [of peaceful assembly], rather than seeking unnecessary and disproportionate limitations on it” (para 36)
16/22 The increase in penalties, lowering of the liability threshold & breadth of the new nuisance offence fly in the face of #GeneralComment37 which states that restrictions must not “be aimed at discouraging participation in assemblies or causing a chilling effect” (para 36)
10/22 But relying on ‘examples’ invites generalization and a blanket approach to regulation. #GeneralComment37 emphasizes that blanket regulation is "presumptively disproportionate" & that ‘restrictions "should be based on a differentiated or individualized assessment" (para 38)
6/22 … It is the very essence of the #RightToProtest that it remains capable of causing “unease”. On this point, #GeneralComment37 categorically states that restrictions must not “impair the essence of the right” (para 36)
