International law does not refer to a specific right to protest. Instead the right to protest is derived from a combination of two main human rights: the right to freedom of expression and the right to freedom of assembly and association. Other human rights relevant to protest include the right to strike, and the rights to participate in political affairs and cultural life. “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” - Article 19, UDHR “Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.” - Article 20(1), UDHR
