In his upcoming report to the UN Human Rights Council to be presented in June 2015, the Special Rapporteur turns his attention to the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association (FOAA rights) in the context of natural resource exploitation. The report will focus on three key actors with obligations and responsibilities with respect to the promotion and protection of FOAA rights: (1) the corporations or private actors exploiting the natural resources, (2) the States where natural resources are to be exploited (host State), and (3) the State of origin of the corporations or private actors. The report will assess the legal framework and practices within each category and explore how these help or hinder FOAA rights.
