The right to public assembly in Croatian and Comparative Law
Đorđe Gardašević
Abstract
As one of the fundamental rights and freedoms, the right to public assembly is guaranteed by a range of international legal documents and national constitutions. In this paper an analysis is given of the comparative ways this law is regulated in three countries (France, the United States of America, and the Republic of Croatia. The basic issues for analysis in this sense are: the connection between the law and public assembly and peaceful protest with freedom of expression; the problem of the space designated for holding public assemblies: and the constitutional possibilities for its limitation regarding prohibition, prevention and suspension. The normative proposition of work is contained in the thesis that comparative experiences (at least at the level of the general category of analysis) is directly relevant also for the evaluation of Croatian constitutional and legal organisation of rights to public assembly.
