Dear Friends and Colleagues,
In 2020, the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association celebrates its 10th anniversary. The mandate was established by the Human Rights Council in October 2010, as a recognition to the right of every individual to organize and protest peacefully and as a response to concerning trends of closing civic space worldwide. The creation of the mandate was possible thanks to the advocacy and concerted efforts of civil society and friendly governments.

The Special Rapporteur is planning a High Level Expert meeting in 2020 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the mandate. This meeting will bring together government representatives, UN experts, academia and civil society representatives.
