| Maina Kiai: Where domestic funding is scarce or unduly restricted, it is critical for associations to be free to rely on foreign assistance in order to carry out their activities |
Maina Kiai, UN Special
Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association
27. In recent years, the protection of State sovereignty or
of the State’s traditional values against external interference has also been
increasingly invoked to restrict foreign funding or to launch slander
offensives against those receiving foreign funding.
