Freedom of Peaceful Assembly Monitoring Network Meeting

ODIHR will hold its bi-yearly assembly monitoring roundtable with representatives of civil society organizations, academia and OSCE field operations with experience in the area of monitoring the right to freedom of peaceful assembly in the OSCE region.

This meeting will allow ODIHR to collect information on key challenges, gaps, and good practices identified by participants during their assembly monitoring activities, in particular pertaining to the policing and facilitation of assemblies by state authorities, and the obstacles faced by assembly monitors across the region.

It will also provide an opportunity for ODIHR to coordinate its freedom of peaceful assembly work with civil society organizations from across the OSCE area.  

Registration is by invitation only.

Online course

ODIHR will launch an online course on Independent Monitoring of Freedom of Peaceful Assembly, available from 20 March online at FreedomLab.io.

The course is designed for human rights defenders, national human rights institutions and civil society activists and teaches how to observe peaceful assemblies and assess if they are facilitated in a human rights-compliant way.
