HUN 1/2014 16/07/2014 Hungary JAL Freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; Human rights defenders; Alleged lack of a proper legal basis for audits conducted by the Hungarian Government Control Office of civil society organizations working on human rights issues connected to the European Economic Area (EEA) and Norwegian Financial Mechanism. According to the information received, on 9 May 2014, Norway decided to suspend disbursements of the State Fund to Hungary under the EEA and Norway Grants scheme. Since that date, the Autonomia Foundation, DemNet and Okotars Foundation, organizations connected to the Norwegian Financial Mechanism, have been subjected to audits by the Government Control Office, allegedly without any legal basis. Concern is expressed that such audits are being used to obstruct and stigmatise the work of civil society organizations, which, if confirmed, would contribute to shrinking the space in which civil society and human rights organizations currently operate in Hungary. 15/09/2014 A/HRC/28/85 37
