Podcasts about peaceful assembly

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Hilary Rantisi speaks with Gina Romero, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association, about the many human rights - including freedom of expression, assembly, association, and the right to education - that have been both invoked and repressed as part of the protests against Israel's war in Gaza on college campuses in many countries and the reactions to them. Gina Romero authored a comprehensive report that covers these protests, human rights, and campus repression, and includes recommendations for the protection of students, rights, and democracy itself. The report is entitled:"Recommendations for universities worldwide for the second semester of 2024: Safeguarding the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association on campuses in the context of international solidarity with the Palestinian people and victims."

The growing trend of “foreign agents" laws have targeted prodemocratic civil society groups and activists around the world. As a result, hostile narratives are established that stigmatize these groups, impeding the inherent rights of freedom to assembly, expression, and speech. These narratives often lead to “foreign agents” laws by authoritarian regimes, ultimately stifling the many benefits that civic groups bring to societies. Gina Romero, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association, sits down with NED Vice President for Studies and Analysis Christopher Walker to discuss stigmatizing narratives that target civil society and activists, their impact, and how civic groups can respond. In this conversation, Ms. Romero highlights the key findings of her recent report on protecting the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association from stigmatization. For further insights on “foreign influence laws”, watch Ms. Romero's short video on the rights to peaceful assembly and association and read the Forum's resources on Foreign Agents Laws. You can find additional resources on the Countering Authoritarian Influence research hub and join the conversation with us on Facebook, LinkedIn, and X.

This week we delve into all the current global events with an analytical lens. We begin by examining the recent intelligence report on Alexei Navalny's death, highlighting its contradictions with previous analyses and raising questions about its reliability. We also analyze the implications of the Malian Defense Forces' successful operation against an Islamic State leader, considering its potential impact on regional stability. Shifting our focus to the Asia-Pacific region, we explore the evolving dynamics between China and Russia amidst the Ukraine conflict, observing Beijing's fluctuating stance. Our conversation then delves into the involvement of mediators such as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and analyzes Israel's negotiation tactics with Hamas. Finally, we scrutinize the funding and motives behind global mass protests, from North American college campuses to European streets, emphasizing the importance of transparency in understanding these movements.------------Get your discount on a brand new BlendJet2 by going to our link: https://zen.ai/analytics12subscribe and follow us: https://linktr.ee/AucoinAnalytics---------------------Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on the podcast 'This Week Explained' are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organization or entity.

Quantum Nurse www.quantumnurse.life presents Freedom International Livestream Today, Tuesday, October 17, 2023, Wed @ 12:00 PM EST 5:00 PM UK 6:00 PM Germany Guest: Drew Cifrodelli   Topic:  Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness:  Elect Drew4Mercer County Constitutional Sheriff   http://Drew4Mercer.com   Bio:   “Having seen egregious federal and state government overreach in recent years by numerous government officials, I have decided to run as a candidate for Mercer County Constitutional Sheriff in an effort to protect my fellow citizens.  My commitment to you is that I will uphold the Constitution and defend the rights and freedoms of ALL residents without regard to party, ideology, or any other affiliation that has been wielded to divide us. My operating principle is that because we are all given the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by our Creator, those rights are unalienable and I will protect them!   Again, my platform is politically independent as it includes initiatives for all to have Election Integrity, Parental Rights, Informed Consent, Medical Freedom, Bodily Autonomy, Right to Bear Arms, Freedom of Speech, Currency Freedom, and the Right to Peaceful Assembly, weather I agree with you or not.” “Being an active community member for years while living and raising my twin boys here in Mercer County, I know and understand the community well. Especially in recent years, our families and our children have been on the receiving end of government overreach and arbitrary actions that trampled our freedoms...where could we even go to complain that if Lowe's and Costco were open, surely our children could use the local park? We needed a Sheriff who knew the Constitution and who would and could have protected us when the government shut down our lives. I will be that advocate and protection that was missing...I will not let arbitrary mandates go unchallenged.”     INTERVIEW HOST   TIP/DONATE LINK for Grace Asagra @ Quantum Nurse Podcast https://patron.podbean.com/QuantumNurse https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FHUXTQVAVJDPU Venmo  - @Grace-Asagra 609-203-5854   New Quantum Nurse Eternal Health https://www.quantumnurseeternalhealth.com/     Grace Asagra, RN MA Podcast:  Quantum Nurse: Out of the Rabbit Hole from Stress to Bless www.quantumnurse.life Quantum Nurse Eternal Health  (Skin Health and Immune Health products) https://www.quantumnurseeternalhealth.com/ Quantum Nurse - Bichute https://www.bitchute.com/channel/nDjE6Ciyg0ED/ Quantum Nurse ClikView https://clikview.com/?ref=410070342631952c00a47c0.19349477 Quantum Nurse – Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/quantum-nurse-out-of-the-rabbit-hole-from-stress-to-bliss/id1522579988 Quantum Nurse Earth Heroes TVhttp://www.earthheroestv.com/categories/the-freedom-broadcasters?via=grace Quantum Nurse Rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-764837 Quantum Nurse Base-12 Source Code DNA Activations - https://www.youtube.com/channel4vncZtvi2VJ0fHoiArJOA/UC-

When there has been a coup d'état in a country, the protests surrounding this regime-change are often critical but difficult. In this episode, we look at how this works, through the example of Myanmar, where the military junta took over control from the democratically elected ruling party in 2021. Thinzar Shunlei Yi, the advocacy coordinator at the Action Committee for Democracy Development speaks about the role of protests in the country, before Wai Hnin Pwint Thon from the Burma Campaign UK shares how she has been supporting the cause from abroad.

The fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights is being waged in countries around the world, as people seek to access legal and affordable reproductive health care services, like contraception, sex education, safe pregnancies, and abortions. In this episode, we speak to Justyna Wydrzyńska, from the Polish group Aborcyjny Dream Team (ADT). Justyna is the first pro-choice activist in Europe to have been charged with aiding someone in an abortion.Later, we hear a success story from Argentina's Green Wave, where activists pushed for the legalisation of abortion and won.

There are over one billion young people between the ages of 15 and 24 worldwide, but their voices are often left out in policy spaces and in decision-making. Youth-led movements are an important part of civil society, and key in motivating for change that will affect generations to come.In this episode, Syed Ali Abbas Zaidi, who is involved with HIVE Pakistan, describes how youth activism can flourish. Later, former student activist and Wits Fees Must Fall leader Busisiwe Catherine Seabe from South Africa shares her experiences being on the ground.You can find CIVICUS online and on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Protesting is particularly difficult if you live in a country where your right to protest is limited in your actions and opinions. The authorities and governments of closed or repressed countries do everything in their power to curtail the right of its citizens to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly: internet shutdowns, restrictive legislation, violence, and unfair arrests. So how do people living in these repressed spaces go about mobilising and protesting?In this episode, Nadim Nashif, the founder and executive director of 7amleh, the Arab Centre for Social Media Advancement, explains how Palestinians have developed creative forms of digital protests. Then, one of the organisers of the national strike in Colombia (el Paro Nacional), Sandra Sierra, shares her emotional and important experiences of protesting under pressure. You can access source material and full transcript of the episode on our website here.

This second season of CIVICUS Voices focusses on the Freedom of Peaceful Assembly. We kick it off by discussing the basics of protesting: Protesting 101. Peaceful Assembly is an international fundamental right and it comes in many different forms that have evolved with time and technology. Luciana Pol, from the Center for Legal and Social Studies in Argentina, explains why this right is so important. Busisiwe Zasekhaya, the project coordinator at Right2Protest in South Africa describes the challenges protest-organisers face and how to overcome them. For an on-the-ground perspective, Abigail Freeman, the executive director of Alliance for Gender Justice and Human Rights, from Liberia shares her experience in organising protests. Head to the podcast webpage to navigate the resources and source material for this episode.

Freedom of peaceful assembly, sometimes used interchangeably with the freedom of association, is the individual right or ability of people to come together and collectively express, promote, pursue, and defend their collective or shared ideas. The right to freedom of association is recognized as a human right, a political right and a civil liberty. The terms freedom of assembly and freedom of association may be used to distinguish between the freedom to assemble in public places and the freedom to join an association. Freedom of assembly is often used in the context of the right to protest, while freedom of association is used in the context of labor rights and in the Constitution of the United States is interpreted to mean both the freedom to assemble and the freedom to join an association. In the United States the right to petition is enumerated in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which specifically prohibits Congress from abridging "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances". Although often overlooked in favor of other more famous freedoms, and sometimes taken for granted, many other civil liberties are enforceable against the government only by exercising this basic right. According to the Congressional Research Service, since the Constitution was written, the right of petition has expanded. It is no longer confined to demands for “a redress of grievances,” in any accurate meaning of these words, but comprehends demands for an exercise by the government of its powers in furtherance of the interest and prosperity of the petitioners and of their views on politically contentious matters. The right extends to the "approach of citizens or groups of them to administrative agencies (which are both creatures of the legislature, and arms of the executive) and to courts, the third branch of Government. Certainly the right to petition extends to all departments of the Government. The right of access to the courts is indeed but one aspect of the right of petition."

The Left has no interest in creating TRUST in our American Institutions. It serves their purposes to continue to trash everything about the United States because their goal is to destroy all — yes, ALL — of those institutions and systems of governance. It is important to the Left for Americans to not trust the Supreme Court or the election system, for example. They need us all to just give up! If we believe the systems work, then maybe we don’t have to burn down everything!Changing the meaning of words and how they are "allowed" to be used is part of the liberal-communist takeover plan. So, is there a connection to this with Joe and Hunter Biden's China money? Even though we always refer to the region of where viruses originate, Biden now had banned any government official from using the terms “China Virus” or “Wuhan Virus”. But the changing of definitions isn’t unique to Biden. Even the A/P is doing it, all to be “politically correct”.Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe the Media is why Americans are so divided today. They site CNN’s Chris Cuomo as an example. He went on an astounding rant about how the police will finally be “forced to change” when white people start being killed by cops…totally ignoring the factual reality that law enforcement do not shoot to kill because of race, but rather because of behavior. Until the Public Media start reporting factual truth, and nothing else, the Media really will be the enemy of the American People.There is a reason members of the far, extreme, anti-American Left are NEVER happy. They so hate this Country that their absolute ambition is to destroy it. So….if at any time, the majority of Americans are convinced our National Governmental Systems are working properly, then they lose their “justification” to burn the place down!You are what you think about and you are what you continually do, so consider your choices between “conflict” and “service”. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain.BLM (Black Lives Matter) is Marist-Communist. To understand what is really going on with BLM, you must understand the conflict between “the oppressor” and “the oppressed” as expressed by Karl Marx…..a fight for limited resources between those with power and those without power. Thus, in order to force America into Communism [the goal of BLM], we first must be forced into “oppressed groups”. BLM justifies looting and destruction because they see themselves as being oppressed.Zig Ziglar has a very different approach. He said you can have whatever it is you want if you help enough other people have whatever it is they want. Karl Marx was all about conflict. Zig Ziglar was all about service. It is the heart of Capitalism…..and in America, that means “servant leadership”.Florida passed and Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed a new Anti-Rioting Bill, and every other state needs to do so as soon as possible. The law prevents actions which would “defund the police”. Protests cannot block roadways without a specific permit to do so. No person will be prosecuted for driving through such an illegally blocked roadway, even if it causes bodily harm or death. No government official can interfere with law enforcement protecting property during a riot, or the city will be responsible for paying for all damages, including property, personal injury or wrongful death…meaning “no stand down orders”. Rioting and related looting conduct are now felonies, and no bail is available until after the first court appearance. Injury to law enforcement personnel is a minimum 6 months in prison. Damaging historical monuments, including statues, is now a felony.A new crime is also included: “cyber intimidation”. All the doxing the left has been doing is now a felony in Florida.And suddenly the Democrats discover the 1st Amendment! They are claiming this Anti-Rioting law will “stifle free speech”, saying it is a “very dangerous piece of legislation”. Really? Peaceful Assembly is not throwing bricks at police and otherwise harming people who have a different opinion. It also is not breaking into businesses to rob, steal, and burn. It is not damaging buildings and statues, and it is not obstructing traffic.

World Justice Project Executive Director Elizabeth Andersen is joined by Christof Heyns, Professor of Human Rights Law at the University of Pretoria and member of the United Nations Human Rights Committee, to discuss the right of peaceful assembly. A new General Comment issued this week by the United Nations Human Rights Committee provides guidance on this topic at a critical moment, with protest movements on the rise across the globe, any many countries grappling with the appropriate response—something that has become even more complicated with the COVID-19 pandemic and public health restrictions on large gatherings.

SUMMARY Florida Criminal Defense & Family Law Attorneys Andrew Metcalf and Susan Chesnutt discuss the right to peacefully assemble and opinions on the changing legal spectrum during this time of social unrest and pandemic restrictions. Susan and Andrew also discuss, how policing and Americans should change during this world-wide crisis, especially in America. This podcast also highlights how people that go through a crisis often come out better on the other side. ------------------------------ HIGHLIGHTS [00:52] Susan introduces Andrew Metcalf and they discuss what the 1st Amendment means to him. [04:58] Andrew discusses his beliefs about the peaceful protests going on during the pandemic. [11:35] Andrew talks about how police should be retaught approaches to be less forceful during arrests. [16:55] Andrew tells us his beliefs on what our leaders can do differently relating to police, peaceful protests, and the pandemic. [21:43] What can America do different during this pandemic? [28:10] How are Americans affected or going to be affected by our poor choices? [38:02] Andrew and Susan share stories about how people affected by crisis's will almost always come out better on the other side. ------------------------------ QUOTES 3:13 “I was born in 1971, so I'm not a spring chicken, but I did grow up during the civil rights era, but this is the worst I've ever seen in our country.” 6:35 “I have seen aggressive police that are too aggressive, and they need to be held accountable.” 9:16 “I mean, we need to reform the way we think, and police are not taught that, you know, they just aren't taught.” 19:40 “We need to limit the terms of our leaders, because the president, as we all know, the president can only serve two terms, but we have career politicians who all they think about every day is how do I keep my job?” 33:41 “I believe in the underdog, and I'm glad that there has been some movement, but we need to pull back, because if you're out there and you're destroying property and you're hurting people, you're not right.” ------------------------------ RESOURCES Andrew Metcalf Phone: (772) 633-4089 Green, Metcalf & Lazan: https://www.greenandmetcalf.com/andrew-b-metcalf/ Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers: https://www.facdl.org/ Indian River County Bar Association: http://www.indianriverbar.org/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/criminal-law/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/family-law-processes/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/divorce/

In the United States we have this thing called the Constitution. The Constitution has in it a thing called the Bill of Rights, which consists of the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression and the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. It reads as follows: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." On June 1, shortly before 10 p.m. as people were in front of the White House protesting the police killing of George Floyd, as the First Amendment guarantees their right to do, a Black Hawk military helicopter "swept low over protesters in Chinatown and held its position, producing gusts that snapped thick tree limbs and swirled the air with volleys of dust and broken glass, sending many running for cover in panic and confusion," the Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing "flight-tracking data, images and videos" in its investigation. How concerned should we be?There's a great story in The Grayzone entitled "Israel leverages dubious ‘Nuclear Archives' to re-enlist IAEA in campaign against Iran," wherein Gareth Porter writes, "The International Atomic Energy Agency has once again lent itself to the political interests of the United States and Israel, provoking a needless conflict with Iran." But how so?According to a recent piece in AlterNet by Cody Fenwick, "Peter Navarro, one of the top White House officials overseeing trade policy, said on Monday that the elusive deal with China that has so transfixed President Donald Trump has finally collapsed. He also pushed a warped and inflammatory version of the history of the coronavirus, attributing a malevolent intent behind the pandemic that is in no way supported by the evidence." Meanwhile, a Monday story from Reuters said, "White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday walked back on his earlier remarks that the US-China trade pact was 'over,' stoking volatility in markets already frazzled by the coronavirus pandemic." So, what's going on here?GUESTS:Patricia Gorky — Technology and security analyst.Gareth Porter — American historian, investigative journalist, author and policy analyst specializing in US national security issues.Dr. Jack Rasmus — Teaches economics and politics at St. Mary's College in California and is the author of the book "The Scourge of Neoliberalism: US Economic Policy from Reagan to Trump."

Listen and Learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 20: 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. 2. No one may be compelled to belong to an association. This episode features an interview with Diane Stein, President of Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Florida.

On this episode of Going Underground, we firstly speak to Malia Bouattia, the first female black Muslim president of the National Union of Students (NUS). She discusses the Black Lives Matter protests that have spread across the world after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, reforms that need to be made to decolonize the British curriculum and increase national education on Britain’s colonial history, Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer’s condemnation of protesters who brought down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston, her demand for the Labour Party to have an unapologetic and uncompromising anti-racist stance, reforms needed to give more opportunities to BAME students in universities and schools, demands to defund the police, and more! Finally, we speak to UN Special Rapporteur on Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Association Clement Voule about police brutality against Black Lives Matter protesters. He discusses why the coronavirus pandemic should not completely limit freedoms of assembly and protest, whether it was right for the police in the UK to charge at protesters on horses, actions the UN has taken following police brutality against protesters in the US, his belief that governments and authorities haven’t engaged in enough dialogue with protesters, the assault and arrest of journalists covering the US George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests, and more!

Following on from the riots in the US, Waikato University of Law Professor Al Gillespie joins The Panel to discuss the laws surrounding rioting and peaceful assembly.

Guest James Kitchen, lawyer with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

UConn Journalism senior Adam Hushin dissects one of the key rights afforded by the First Amendment—freedom of peaceful assembly. In particular, he sought out the recipe for a successful protest or rally. Is it how many people attend? Is it media coverage? Hushin interviewed representatives from UConn PIRG, the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, the Women's March, the Connecticut chapter of the ACLU, and an editor from The New Britain Herald to find out how the success of a protest is measured.
