Human rights defenders and groups have been targeted and subjected to arbitrary actions with the introduction of exceptions to the rule of law and human rights derogations adopted through special security legislation” (para. 52). See also Security Council resolution 1373 (2001). Measures to be adopted by States included freezing the funds of certain entities (para. 1 (c)), preventing certain entities within their territories from making any funds available (para. 1 (d)), refraining from providing any support to certain entities, suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups (para. 2 (a)), preventing the movement of terrorist groups (para. 2 (g)) – all of these measures affect “associations”. 95 See reports of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on human rights defenders, Hina Jilani (A/59/401 and E/CN.4/2006/95). 96 See A/61/267. 97 See, for example, European Court of Human Rights, Sidiropoulos and Others v.

Such a possibility, which the national courts saw as a certainty, could hardly have been belied by any practical action as, having never existed, the association did not have time to take any action” (para. 46). 98 A/59/401, paras. 49, 51–82. 99 See E/CN.4/2005/103, paras. 13–15. 100 See A/61/267, para. 29. 101 See, for example, Human Rights Committee, views on communication N° 453/1991, Coeriel et al. v. the Netherlands, 31 October 1994 (A/50/40 (vol.
