« Monitoring Report on Freedom of Association in the Euro-Mediterranean Region »
The EMHRN published its second Review on Freedom of Association in the Euro-Mediterranean Region on 8 December 2008, the day before the 10th Anniversary of the UN Declaration on Human rights Defenders. This Report is a follow-up monitoring report to the review that was published last year on the same topic. Based on new indicators, this second report aims at assessing progresses and setbacks pertaining to Freedom of Association in 2008. The report includes one chapter on each of the 11 South and East Mediterranean countries, one chapter on Freedom of Association in the European Union as well as two thematic chapters, one focusing on the impacts of counter-terrorism laws on Freedom of Association and the other a discussion paper on gender and freedom of association. Each of these chapters includes a list of recommendations to the attention of national governments. Read the report here |
