Challenges and abilities of civil society organizations to access resources

In response to a Call for Inputs from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, Clément Nyaletsossi Voule for his report to be presented at the 50th session of the Human Rights Council the Alliance “Legal Certainty for political advocacy” sent a contribution to paint a comprehensive picture of the situation in Germany at the moment.

The contribution provides an overview on state practice with its key trends, challenges and developments. The main issue highlighted concerns the legal uncertainty around the charity law in Germany. This law provides access to charitable status which is crucial in the funding of civil society organisations.
