    Country Report 2018: Denmark
    (2018) Henriksen, Lars Skov
    Denmark has guaranteed the freedom of association in its written constitution, which dates back to 1849. Articles 77, 78, and 79 guarantee freedom of expression, freedom of association, and freedom of peaceful assembly. The positive right of freedom protects the right to form and become a member of associations of one’s own choice, as long as the association pursues legal goals. Associations that use or encourage the use of violence are dissolved by court order. This means that government cannot dissolve an association unless the case is tested in court. These limitations are in accordance with the UN Declaration of Human Rights, which Denmark has ratified.
