NEW CIDH PUBLICATION

This document is published by Commission Indépendante des Droits de l’Homme en Afrique du Nord.

Its content is the sole responsibility of the CIDH.

This publication is funded by The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law. The aim of the partnership is to strengthen the promotion and protection of association and assembly rights in North Africa by increasing engagement of civil society organizations (CSOs) with the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) and its mechanisms and legal/policy instruments.

The main objective of the project is to enhance the knowledge and capacity of North African CSOs to engage with the ACHPR and its special mechanisms, particularly by using the ACHPR Guidelines on Freedom of Association and Assembly in Africa (the ACHPR Guidelines) and to strengthen work on FoAA at national and regional levels.

The CIDH would like to express appreciation to stakeholders, contributors and experts who contributed to the conception, development, and production of this handbook on freedom of association and assembly.
