In its 2017 Report on Constituency Delineation and Seat Allocation, the Venice Commission criticized the practice of unduly re-drawing electoral boundaries and of gerrymandering. In the same vein, the UN Human Rights Committee, in its General Comment No. 25, noted that “[t]he drawing of electoral boundaries and the method of allocating votes should not distort the distribution of voters or discriminate against any group and should not exclude or restrict unreasonably the right of citizens to choose their representatives freely”. The Inter-American Commission of Human Rights likewise held that “[t]he delimitation of electoral districts and the method of allocating votes should not distort the distribution of voters or entail any discrimination against any group, nor unreasonably exclude or restrict citizens’ right to freely elect their representatives.”
