Mapping Study Young people’s right to assemble peacefully

Young people’s right to assemble peacefully – A mapping study, in preparation of the first review of the recommendation CM/Rec (2016) showcases the relevant publications, documents and reports in preparation of the first review of the recommendation. It refers exclusively to the Article I.2. (removing any legal, administrative and practical obstacles to the right of young people to assemble peacefully and to freely form, join and be active in associations and trade unions).

Based on secondary sources, the study looks for responses to several questions:

• Why young people’s right to assemble peacefully and to freely form, join and be active in associations and trade unions, matters?
• Where is this right under threat?
• Who is (more) affected?
• Who limits young people’s right to assemble peacefully? Why? How?
• What works in removing the obstacles? What doesn’t work? What sounds promising?
• What we do not yet know?
• What is the relevance of the Article I.2. of the Recommendation in the recent COVID 19 context?
