Le maintien de l'ordre dans les villes : la mise en œuvre du droit de manifester pacifiquement au niveau local
| The right to peaceful protest is a fundamental human right and an essential component of democratic governance. While international human rights standards and UN Human Rights Council (HRC) resolutions establish important obligations and principles for protecting this right, their effective implementation often depends on decisions and practices at the local level.
City governments and law enforcement agencies play a critical role in facilitating peaceful assemblies, managing public spaces, ensuring public safety, and protecting the rights of protesters. On the other hand, they need to maintain order, circulation and mobility as well as public safety for all residents, including during protests. In reality, and especially during complex and prolonged protests, gaps may persist between international commitments made at the national level and their practical implementation by municipal authorities and police services.

This webinar will put a particular focus on urban governance, local policing practices, and the responsibilities of local and regional governments. It will explore how international standards can be translated into practical approaches to protest facilitation and public order management, drawing on experiences from cities, the discussion will consider the challenges faced by local authorities, opportunities for strengthening implementation, and the potential of the Model Protocol as a practical tool for guiding local action.
🎯 Objectifs
The webinar aims to assess the implementation of international standards on the right to peaceful protest in urban contexts and identify practical measures to strengthen compliance at the local level. It also aims at fostering more interaction between all levels of government in the area of peaceful protests, including in relation to the deliberations at the Human Rights Council.
Specifically, the webinar will:
- Examine the role of LRGs in facilitating and protecting peaceful assemblies and protests
- Identify gaps between international human rights standards and local policing and public order management practices.
- Discuss legal, political, institutional, and resource-related barriers to effective local implementation.
