Report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of assembly and association on peaceful protest in crisis situations

This report, to be presented at the 50th session of the Human Rights Council in June 2022, examines key global trends that seriously impede the protection of human rights in the context of peaceful protests in crisis situations. They include stigmatization, abuse of emergency measures, militarization and use of unlawful force to stifle peaceful protests, compounded by endemic impunity for serious violations.
