Freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly, the right to liberty and security, and freedom of association are often inseparable rights when it comes to any form of activism. In this document, they were specifically addressed because it is precisely these rights that were violated by most of the recorded attacks and pressures suffered by human rights defenders. In its practice, the European Court of Human Rights frequently connects these four rights and emphasises their importance in a democratic society.<\/p>\n
In the absence of answers in domestic practice, we will turn to the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, which has set internationally accepted standards in the exercise of these rights and freedoms through the interpretation of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is an important source of law because it creates space for human rights defenders to use United Nations\u2019 mechanisms for the protection of these rights, primarily by addressing the Human Rights Committee.<\/p>\n
