- TC-35
- definition
- Government formally dissolves, defunds, or removes dedicated state structures for civil society cooperation — offices, working groups, consultation mechanisms, or advisory bodies — without replacing them. The act functions as an institutional authorization signal: the state publicly withdraws its recognition of CSOs as legitimate partners. Distinct from TC-24 (Administrative Burdening), which creates operational obstacles; TC-35 removes the formal relationship itself. Often precedes legislative or regulatory escalation by 12?24 months.
- detection signal
- Decree abolishing a CSO coordination office; removal of civil society representatives from advisory councils; suspension of formal consultation processes; budget zeroing of civil society liaison functions.
