Date Enacted: June 2020
Country: France
Region: Europe and Central Asia
The French Council of State decided that “the ban on demonstrations” resulting from a May 31, 2020 decree that prohibited “gatherings, meetings or activities bringing together more than ten people” in public spaces was “not justified” since it was possible for “barrier measures” to “be respected.”
