The text defines the concept of assembly, its relationship to the right of free expression, and the nature of constitutional guarantees for human rights not specifically defined in the law. Next, the discussion analyzes the relationship of the individual to the State, and the primacy of the common interest over that of individual liberty. Existing laws are cited which implicate the freedom of assembly, such as regulations concerning the use of public property. The right of assembly is then discussed in relation to public order and the physical accommodations that must be made regarding traffic and other potential objective dangers of large public gatherings. Legitimate interventions by the police in case of public disorder are a central theme. Finally, a detailed outline is presented of the considerations to be made in formulating legislation that enables the exercise of the right of assembly, while ensuring maintenance of the peace and operations of the government under the principles of legality, proportionality, and equality. Footnotes and over 150 references are provided.
