  • Report of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living (+)

    The present report focuses on the realization of the right to adequate housing in post-disaster settings. The report assesses human rights standards and guidelines relevant to an approach to disaster response based on the right to adequate housing and discusses some existing limitations. It elaborates upon key challenges relating to the protection and realization of the right in disaster response. The report concludes by outlining the fundamentals of an approach to disaster response that deliberately and comprehensively integrates the right to adequate housing.
