Peaceful protests and demonstrations have always been an essential means of the social, economic, and political transformations that have characterized human history. Recent years have seen a continuous rise in protest movements, with mass demonstrations erupting almost daily worldwide for various causes. Protests are also growing in complexity. Digital technologies have brought enormous opportunities for organizing, participating in, and reporting on protests, but have also introduced risks as well as tools for government repression. These trends have garnered new attention from legal practitioners and the last decade has seen increased efforts by civil society organizations to use courts (domestic and regional), as well as international human rights bodies, to advance protection of human rights in the context of peaceful protests. This paper surveyed 178 of the leading and most recent judgments and decisions concerning peaceful protests to provide a diverse and cross-cutting sample of cases covering a wide range of geographies and issues concerning peaceful protests. While not exhaustive, it summarizes relevant principles of international human rights laws on the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, and provides a general overview of this growing jurisprudence organized by themes and issues commonly addressed by courts around the world.
