FoAA and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In August the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of association and peaceful assembly submitted a report to the Human Rights Council on the linkages between civic freedoms and the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The special rapporteur stressed that it is not possible to achieve the SDGs without freedom of association and assemble. The report draws a variety of linkages between the rights of assembly and association and how the SDGs can be achieved.
