Abstract

This volume presents an accessible overview over the current state of the legislation on the freedom of assembly in eleven selected member states of the Venice Commission: the UK, France, the US, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, the Russian Federation, the Ukraine, Poland, Hungary and Tunisia. The volume may serve as a work of reference for the researcher or practitioner who seeks specific information on the legal bases, restrictions, or implementation of the freedom of assembly in a specific country or on more recent themes such as the legal implications of flashmobs. It is also a helpful starting point for anyone interested in comparing the state of assembly legislation in Europe and beyond. Next to information on details of the domestic regulation of assemblies, each study contains information on recent events, changes and debates on the laws on assemblies. Examples are the handling of the Arab spring in Tunisia, freedom of assembly-implications and management of the Gezi Park protests in Turkey, or the constitutional upheavals in the Ukraine.

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Band bietet einen zugänglichen Überblick über die aktuelle Rechtslage der Versammlungsfreiheit in ausgewählten Mitgliedstaaten der Venedigkommission: Großbritannien, Frankreich, die USA, Belgien, Deutschland, die Türkei, Russland, die Ukraine, Polen, Ungarn und Tunesien. Er dient als Nachschlagewerk für Wissenschaftler und Praktiker, die spezifische Informationen zur Rechtslage, Beschränkungen, oder Anwendungen der Versammlungsfreiheit in einem der ausgewählten Länder suchen. Gleichfalls enthalten sind Kapitel zu aktuellen Fragen wie dem Einsatz von Flashmobs. Der Vergleich wird nicht nur durch die identische Struktur der einzelnen Länderstudien ermöglicht, sondern auch durch das abschließende Kapitel, in dem alle untersuchten Länder Punkt für Punkt verglichen werden. Neben Informationen zu Einzelheiten des Versammlungsrechts enthalten die Kapitel Informationen über aktuelle Ereignisse und Debatten im Recht der Versammlungsfreiheit wie etwa die Neuerungen im tunesischen, türkischen oder ukrainischen Versammlungsrecht nach dem Arabischen Frühling, der Verfassungsänderung in der Ukraine und den Gezi-Park-Protesten.
