Everyone has the right to form non-profit organisations and associations. Only Estonian citizens may belong to political parties.

The establishment of organisations and associations which possess weapons, are militarily organised or perform military exercises requires prior permission, for which the conditions and procedure of issuance shall be provided by a law.

Associations, organisations and political parties the aims or activities of which are directed at a violent change of the constitutional order of Estonia, or are otherwise in conflict with the law providing for criminal liability, shall be prohibited.

Only a court may terminate or suspend the activities of, or impose a fine on, an organisation, association or political party for a violation of the law.
