A/HRC/32/36/Add.3
à la liberté d’association et de réunion pacifique dans un environnement favorable leur
permettant de mener à bien leurs activités sans risque d’être exposés à des menaces,
représailles, intimidations ou actes de harcèlement.
Visite de pays
454. Le Rapporteur spécial rappelle au Gouvernement du Maroc ses demandes de visite
formulées en 2011 et 2013. Il est convaincu qu’une visite du pays lui permettrait de mieux
comprendre le contexte dans lequel le droit de réunion pacifique et d’association y est
exercé et d’engager un dialogue constructif avec le Gouvernement sur ces questions. A la
lumière de l’esprit des résolutions 15/21 et 24/5 du Conseil des droits de l’homme qui
appelle les Etats à répondre favorablement aux demandes de visite, il espère recevoir une
réponse positive du Gouvernement.
Oman
455. JUA 27/03/2015. Case no. OMN 2/2015. State reply: None. Alleged acts of
intimidation and reprisal, in the form of a travel ban, against an Omani human rights
defender and blogger for his cooperation with the Special Rapporteur on the rights to
freedom of peaceful assembly and of association.
Observations
Response to communication
456. The Special Rapporteur regrets that he has not yet received a response to his
communication sent on 27 March 2015 (OMN 2/2015) and reminds the Government of
Oman that he considers responses to his communications as an important part of the
cooperation of Governments with his mandate.
457. He calls upon States to cooperate fully with and assist him in the performance of his
mandate, in compliance with Human Rights Council resolutions 24/5 (2013), 21/16 (2012)
and 15/21 (2010). In the absence of information to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur
concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in his communications.
458. In connection with the case of Mr. Mohammed Al-Fazari, the Special Rapporteur
condemns the travel ban issued as an act of intimidation and reprisal against Mr. Al-Farzari
for his cooperation with the Special Rapporteur during his country visit to Oman between 8
and 13 September 2014. He strongly regrets that the Government of Oman has not replied
to this communication and he reminds the Government of its international obligation to
cooperate with the mandate.
459. The Special Rapporteur takes the opportunity to call on the Government of Oman to
implement the recommendations made in his country visit report, including to ensure that
no one be criminalized for exercising their right to freedom of peaceful assembly and
association, or subjected to threats or use of violence, harassment, persecution, intimidation
or reprisals; as well as to adopt a new law on associations that complies with international
human rights standards, including the right to freedom of association without delay
(A/HRC/29/25/Add.1, para.70).
