Maina Kiai, UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, is soliciting input for an upcoming report on civil society engagement with multilateral institutions. The report seeks to “assess the extent to which States facilitate or diminish civilsociety’s involvement” with multilaterals, such as the UN and the Financial Access Task Force, and will also “assess how policies andpractices by multilateral organisations impact positively ornegatively the ability of civil society organisations to exercise theirfreedom of association”
Civil society organizations are strongly encouraged to send in their experiences—positive and negative—working with multilateral institutions. A concept note and questionnaire provide background and specific questions to answer. All comments for the report can be sent to [email protected].
