Concerns expressed in relation to the draft law No. 566, titled “Introduction of Article 614-bis on the Criminal Code, on the protection of the inviolability of the home from arbitrary occupation, as well as provisions concerning the reinstatement of the owner or rightful holder in possession”. The law if adopted with proposed amendments would introduce a new offense in the Criminal Code, and provide for accelerated proceeding for the immediate forced eviction of persons without tenancy status of occupied property, including immediate arrest. Persons committing arbitrary occupation of property can be punished with a prison term between 2 and 7 years, Additionally, it foresees the disconnection of utilities within 15 days upon a simple complaint by the owner. Concern is expressed that this law if passed unchanged lead to the criminalization of persons in precarious situations, and reduce procedural guarantees to protect the occupants of a dwelling from being pushed into homelessness.

Informations reçues concernant dépôt de la proposition de loi n°360 visant à protéger les logements contre l’occupation illicite, et nous avons pu prendre connaissance du texte tel qu'adopté en seconde lecture par la Commission des affaires économiques de l'Assemblée nationale (n°1010). Ce texte fera l'objet d'un débat en séance plénière à l'Assemblée nationale, selon nos informations, le 29 mars 2023, avant, le cas échéant, sa transmission au Sénat. Nous craignons que la loi, si elle est adoptée sans modification, n'aboutisse à la criminalisation de certaines personnes en situation de précarité, à une accélération des procédures d'expulsion locative sans alternative de logement adéquat et une réduction éventuelle des garanties procédures visant à protéger les occupants d'un logement et à limiter le risque de sans-abrisme.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Information received concerning allegations of racial discrimination in Louisiana, specifically land use and zoning decisions that have classified the land as suitable for industrial facilities in the areas populated by African American communities. We have been informed of racial discrimination in relation to the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment in Louisiana; namely, certain Parishes within the State of Louisiana are allegedly adopting and implementing zoning practices that unfairly discriminate against, and disproportionately affect, the African American communities in the area. Information that construction of hazardous facilities by Wolverine and Petroplex International has been blocked by the St James Parish’s Council in the Third District, with a majority Anglo/White population, is a sign of such discriminatory practices and is therefore of serious concern.

Information received concerning the alleged imminent threat of forced evictions and home demolitions without plans for adequate alternative housing in Thapathali informal settlement, along the banks of the Bagmati river, in Kathmandu, which could affect up to some 17,500 people (3,500 families), in the context of implementation of Bagmati River Basin Improvement Project and related projects, financed by the Asian Development Bank. These evictions are planned without the provision of any alternative adequate housing and would render many affected persons homeless, thus threatening their health and right to a life in dignity. Additional 2,000 families living in other informal settlements in Kathmandu may also be targeted for evictions in the future. This would be the second time that residents of Thapathali informal settlement would be subjected to forced evictions, after their homes were initially demolished in 2012.Alleged victims: 17501 More details... | |

Information received concerning the threat of forced evictions of 14 Isan minority members (9 women, 5 men), who are also land-right defenders, from their lands and homes in the Sab Wai village, situated in the Sai Thong National Park, under forest conservation policies and legislation. The eviction orders have been issued in the context of the Government’s climate change mitigation action without the provision of alternative accommodation and productive land, nor adequate compensation. Allegedly, the national strategy to address the adverse effects of climate change pursues “false solutions” that are resulting in practice in the criminalization and impoverishment of poor small-scale farmers who depend on forests for their livelihoods, while the need to reform the energy sector is neglected.Alleged victims: 1 More details... |

Información recibida en relación con la crisis humanitaria y ambiental que padece el pueblo Raizal de las islas de Vieja Providencia y Santa Catalina, pertenecientes al Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, tras el paso de los huracanes Eta e Iota en noviembre de 2020. Casi dos años después del paso y daños causados por los huracanes, la población de la isla de 5000 personas, de la cual 4500 indígenas Raizales, sigue necesitando urgentemente ayuda para el restablecimiento de todas sus necesidades básicas afectadas, como: alojamiento, atención sanitaria, agua, saneamiento y alimentos. Los esfuerzos de reconstrucción del Gobierno, se están llevando a cabo sin tomar en cuenta las aspiraciones y las recomendaciones del pueblo raizal y de sus autoridades, ignorando su forma de vida y sus costumbres, así como el clima de las islas. Debido a la insuficiente adecuación de las nuevas viviendas a las condiciones climáticas de las islas, la situación queda crítica y conlleva el riesgo que las personas interesadas se desplacen de nuevo y se queden sin hogar cuando golpee el próximo huracán. Además, la prioridad acordada a las necesidades militares y de desarrollo económico sobre la satisfacción de las necesidades inmediatas de la población en términos de vivienda, alimentos, agua potable y saneamiento, y un medio ambiente limpio, significa una presión importante sobre el espacio vital de los Raizales que afecta negativamente su autodeterminación, sus derechos culturales y su derecho al desarrollo, con graves repercusiones sobre su sobrevivencia en tanto que pueblo.Alleged victims: 4501 More details... |

Information concerning the redevelopment plan 3080+ which is expected to involve the large-scale demolition of houses and the eviction of tenants in multiple districts in Seoul and other suburban areas as part of the Government’s broader housing policies aimed at boosting housing supply. Many of these redevelopment plans appear to be implemented without sufficient consultation or meaningful participation of all affected residents living in these areas, including in the design and implementation of these plans. In addition, the redevelopment projects appear not to include sufficient protection of marginalized community members living in the affected areas, and to ensure inadequate protection of the historic built environment, the culture, and the social networks of affected communities. If these redevelopment plans were to be implemented unchanged, there is the risk that several of the affected persons will be fully displaced with limited opportunities to return to their earlier place of residency.

Information received concerning allegations of human rights violations against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. The information we have received raises concerns that discriminatory policies and practices against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers violate your Government’s domestic law and its obligations under international law, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (the Palermo Protocol), and the international standards contained in the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA). We are alarmed by reports that systemic racial discrimination and racist violence against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers have been exacerbated in recent years, with this regression accelerated by the public and private response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We would also like to bring your attention that the such forced evictions and home demolitions take place in midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, thus further elevating the risk to health and life of the persons concerned.

Información recibida en relación con la situación de un grupo de trabajadores (usualmente llamados “mozos colonos”) que vivían y trabajaban en la Finca “La Soledad”, en el Municipio de Patulul, Departamento de Suchitepéquez en 2009. En noviembre de 2009, un total de 49 trabajadores formaron un sindicato (SITRASOLEDAD). La formación de dicho sindicato, se alega, resultó en la pérdida de su empleo y como consecuencia de ello, de su vivienda familiar, así como sus medios de subsistencia. Estos hechos, a su vez, llevaron a falta de cobertura de la seguridad social a pesar de decisiones judiciales a favor de los trabajadores y sus familias para restablecer sus puestos de trabajo. En particular, expresamos preocupación por la situación de los Srs. Alfonso Enriquez Chonay, Carlos Enrique Serech de León, Carlos Anibal Ramirez Paiz, Edy Marvin Canás Chonay, Esmelin Valeriano Castillo Leiva, Felipe Arreaga Catalán; de los Srs.

Information received concerning ongoing forced evictions and demolitions of as many as 12,000 homes, affecting up to 96,000 people, mostly along two of Karachi’s nullahs (watercourses) - Gujjar and Orangi nullah, carried out in an intransparent manner without any consultations with the affected populations, with little to no notice to the affected residents, with no regard for different degrees of tenure they may hold, and with disparate provisions for redress and compensation. Despite recent stop orders issued by the High Court of Sindh, demolitions continued to take place, including of buildings the owners of which hold valid land leases. Following a Supreme Court of 14 June 2021 dismissing earlier interim stay, injunction and status quo orders, there are reports that demolitions are again underway in Gujjar and Orangi nullahs.These ongoing actions are resulting in irreversible forced displacement of large populations of people, putting them at risk of extreme poverty, homelessness and threatening public health during the global Covid-19 pandemic.Alleged victims: 96000 More details... | |

Information received concerning policies to deport undocumented Haitian migrants and to eradicate informal settlements known as “shanty towns” inhabited primarily by persons of Haitian origin or descent without any consultations or alternative accommodation provided to the affected minority and migrant communities. These policies have not taken into account the extreme vulnerability of the Haitian communities in the wake of category 5 Hurricane Dorian, which hit the Bahamas in September 2019, as a result of which many lost their lives, possessions, savings, personal documentation and jobs. Undocumented Haitian migrants are being deported in violation of the principle of non-refoulement, without individual assessments and due process guarantees, while informal settlements are being targeted for destruction without any consultation with their residents or the provision of adequate alternative housing. In April 2021, the authorities started an operation aiming to demolish around 600 newly-reconstructed homes in two adjacent informal settlements known as the Farm and the Farm Road on Abaco island, which will displace up to 2,000 persons (approx. 600 families), many of them women and children.Alleged victims: 3000 More details... | |

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... | |

Le Covid-19 a accru ces difficultés, en réduisant le nombre d’employés opérant dans le camp.Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Informations reçues concernant une opération d'enregistrement et de vérification dans les camps d'Al-Hol et de Roj situés dans le nord-est de la Syrie où vos ressortissants, principalement des femmes et des enfants, sont actuellement privés de liberté. Dans ces camps de fortune fermés, constitués de structures vétustes qui s'effondrent sous l'effet de vents violents ou qui sont inondées par la pluie ou les eaux usées, les conditions sanitaires sont déplorables: l'eau potable est souvent contaminée, les latrines débordent, des monticules d'ordures jonchent le sol, et les maladies, y compris les infections virales, y sévissent. La nourriture, l'eau, les soins de santé et les produits non alimentaires essentiels sont fournis par des groupes et des organisations humanitaires aux ressources insuffisantes. Selon le Croissant rouge kurde, au moins 517 personnes, dont 371 enfants, seraient mortes en 2019, dont beaucoup de maladies évitables, rien que dans le camp d'Al-Hol. En août 2020, selon UNICEF, huit enfants de moins de cinq ans sont morts dans ce camp en moins d'une semaine, dont quatre à cause de complications liées à la malnutrition et les autres à cause d'une déshydratation due à la diarrhée, à une insuffisance cardiaque, à une hémorragie interne et à une hypoglycémie. Le Covid-19 a accru ces difficultés, en réduisant le nombre d’employés opérant dans le camp.Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Alleged violations of the human rights of residents of Flint, Michigan, in the context of lead contamination of its water, including the rights to adequate housing, water and sanitation, and non-discrimination. According to the information received, water supplies in the city of Flint became contaminated with lead following the city’s decision in April 2014 to switch its water source to the Flint River as a cost-cutting measure and its failure to put in place corrosion control measures to mitigate the levels of lead and copper in the water. Despite the emergence of evidence and studies that indicated an elevated level of lead in the water as well as in the blood of the children in Flint, the city insisted that its water supplies complied with all state and federal standards, failing to take immediate mitigation measures. It is further suggested that Flint residents, who are in majority Black or African American and among the most impoverished of any metropolitan area, did not enjoy the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards as that provided to other communities. A previous communication raising concerns about the water crisis in Flint was sent on 2 March 2016, see above, case no. USA 1/2016. Alleged victims: - More details... | |

According to information received, on 11 October 2015, an Israeli District Court upheld a Magistrate’s Court decision of 14 September 2014 to issue an eviction order against the Ghaith-Sub Laban family following a petition by an Israeli settler organization. The Magistrate, herself a settler, accepted the claim of the settler organization that the family, who holds protected tenancy status and continues to live in the property, had abandoned the house and lost their protected status. Since June 2015, the National Insurance Institute stopped the family’s social benefits, including their medical insurance. The forced eviction is set for 30 November 2015, although a temporary injunction against the eviction was granted 18 November 2015 pending further decision by the High Court. Concerns are raised that the forced eviction would violate the right to adequate housing, rights of due process and procedural fairness and provisions under international humanitarian law. The alleged forced eviction against the Ghaith-Sub Laban family was the subject of an earlier communication sent on 30 April 2015, see A/HRC/30/27, case no. ISR 1/2015.Alleged victims: 2 More details... |

Alleged imminent eviction of approximately 48 Roma families residing in an informal settlement close to the Artificial Lake in Tirana. According to the information received, most of these families face immediate eviction from their homes due to a recent announcement by the Tirana Municipality on 2 October 2015 that their camp will be dismantled. Families with residency in Tirana have reportedly been promised emergency accommodation at Tufina Centre, a transitory emergency centre. While this is not a long term solution it is feared that this temporary solution is being turning into a permanent segregated government-run Roma camp. Other families not registered in Tirana have been offered free return to cities of origin. However, as the families represent some of the most marginalized, poor, least educated and unskilled Roma, returning these families back to cities of origin without other effective measure and programs, will further deteriorate the living conditions of the families.Alleged victims: - More details... |

Alleged demolitions and forced evictions of hundreds of homes in Badia, Lagos, and imminent threat of further demolitions and evictions in the same area. According to information received, on 18 and 19 September, and again on 22 September 2015, a demolition squad from the Lagos State Government with support from the Nigerian Police Force began demolishing houses, starting in Badia East and moving toward Badia West in Lagos.

The evictions took place in the middle of the rainy season.Alleged victims: - More details... |

Letter concerning the decision taken by the Civil Section of the Tribunal of Rome concerning a Roma camp located on the outskirts of Rome. According to the information received, on 30 May 2015, the Civil Section of the Tribunal of Rome handed down a decision which held that the construction of the Roma camp La Barbuta by the City of Rome was indirectly discriminatory, breaching paragraph 2 of Decreto Legislativo 215/2003 (prohibition of discrimination), which is the implementing legislation of EU Directive 2000/43 (the Race Equality Directive). The settlement, which was constructed under the “Nomad Emergency Framework”, is fenced and far from basic services, without access to work and livelihoods, and has allegedly substandard housing facilities. Implementation of the ruling will require dismantling of the camp and addressing the needs of the affected Roma community. The ruling does not stipulate specific time limits or modalities for doing so. The Special Rapporteurs call for transparent consultation with affected Romani families currently living in the settlement regarding the planning, development and implementation of non-discriminatory and adequate alternative housing solutions in line with Italy’s human rights obligations.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Alleged large-scale disconnection of water services disproportionally affecting poor African-American or Black households in the city of Baltimore. According to the information received, the Department of Public Works of the City of Baltimore has started to disconnect water services for households who are six months or more in arrears of more than 250 USD providing only a ten-day notice. The City announced plans to disconnect about 150 household per day starting at the end of March 2015. The combination of high poverty rates and water and sanitation bills which have tripled since 2000 has made water increasingly unaffordable for a large number of households. The assistance programme, which offers 161 USD to certain low-income households, is reported to be insufficient and difficult to access because of procedural and documentation requirements. These disconnections affect several rights, including the right to life, to health, to housing, and to water and sanitation. Alleged victims: - More details... |

Alleged imminent forced eviction of a Palestinian family of eight, including two children, from their home in the Old City, East Jerusalem. According to the information received, on 14 September 2014, an eviction order was issued by an Israeli Magistrate Court against the Ghaith-Sub Laban family following a petition by a Trust, related to a number of Israeli settler organizations, claiming that the family had abandoned their home and thus lost their protected tenant status. Reportedly, no opportunity was given to refute this claim in the issuing Court and testimonies were only heard from settlers. Allegedly, the magistrate that presided over this case is a settler herself, calling into question her impartiality. Twice, on 9 February 2015 and 16 March 2015, attempts were made to evict the family, despite the fact that an appeal to the eviction order is pending. Concerns are raised that the forced eviction would violate the right to adequate housing, rights of due process and procedural fairness, and provisions under international humanitarian law.

Alleged forced eviction and land appropriation of Bunong indigenous community in Cambodia. According to the information received, in early December 2014, Binh Phouc Rubber Company 1 bulldozed property and farmland occupied since the 1940s by approximately 211 families in Mondulkiri province. Subsequently, on 31 March 2015, company representatives, supported by approximately 90 armed police officers and a provincial prosecutor, who had reportedly been instructed to arrest any protestors, bulldozed additional land and approximately 170 temporary residential structures where individuals and families reside on seasonal basis when planting crops and cultivating land for several months at a time. The Mondulkiri Provincial Governor threatened local NGO members with arrest if they attempted to enter the area to monitor the situation. Both the evictions and the Company’s lease of the land allegedly contravene the community’s property rights under domestic law. They have submitted complaints to District authorities, the Provincial Governor’s office, the National Assembly and others, and are currently left without additional recourse to protect their land.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Alleged forced eviction and continued residency in an institutional setting for 14 persons with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities in the city of Balti who have, until now, benefited from a supported housing programme administered by the city. According to the information received, the Municipal Council of the city of Balti, to date among the most advanced Moldovan localities in providing community support services to persons with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities, has through Decision No. 1/94 decided to discontinue its protected housing programme. This would leave eight persons with disabilities, who currently live in supported apartments, without a place to live with the risk of institutionalization. The deinstitutionalization of a further six persons with disabilities who were waiting to be deinstitutionalized and move from residential institutions to apartments supported by the housing programme would be discontinued.

Allegations of adverse impacts on the right to an adequate standard of living, including food and housing, and the rights of indigenous peoples due to the ongoing construction of the Mapithel dam in the State of Manipur.

Alleged violation of the right to adequate housing in the context of forced evictions carried out by the Egyptian military. According to the information received, the military began evicting residents of Rafah in late October 2014 in response to an attack on a military checkpoint in North Sinai and amidst growing security concerns. The evictions, implemented in two phases and still ongoing, appear to have been carried out without adequate notification and consultation as well as lack of adequate and timely compensation and provision of equal or better quality housing. It is understood that approximately 3,200 families will be evicted as a result of the first two eviction phases, with a strong possibility that further evictions will be carried out in the near future. With North Sinai being one of Egypt’s poorest districts, the affected families have long suffered neglect and discrimination on economic grounds. Alleged victims: - More details... |

Allegations of continued disconnections of water services and of large numbers of related foreclosures and evictions in Detroit in violation of human rights standards. According to the information received, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department continues to disconnect water services from households during winter months without evaluating the account to determine the vulnerability of the residents to a shut off. In some cases, the water system is related directly to the heating system, which is a concern particularly with households with children and seniors, persons with disabilities and persons suffering from chronic illness. According to information received, in addition, approximately 27,000 persons are reportedly at risk of foreclosure and eviction as of December 2014, and 37% of the foreclosure tax lien proceedings are due to unpaid water bills. Of grave concern is the increasing numbers of evictions and homeless in Detroit that will likely occur this winter, with no evidence of provision of adequate homeless shelters to those affected. The foreclosures and evictions will mostly affect those living in poverty in Detroit – a city with high poverty rates at 40% - and will likely disproportionately affect African Americans who comprise most of the poor population in the city.

Allegations of an arson attack on the premises of a human rights organization, and intimidation and harassment of human rights lawyers. According to the information received, on 13 December 2014, in Grozny, the office of the Joint Mobile Group (JMG) - a human rights organization that investigates grave human rights abuses, including abductions, enforced disappearances and torture, in the Chechen Republic - was largely destroyed by a fire in what appears to have been an arson attack. On 14 December 2014, human rights lawyers and JMG staff members Mr. Sergei Babinets and Mr. Dmitry Dimitriev arrived at the JMG office and called the police who, upon arrival, failed to inspect the incident and arrested the two men without a warrant. These events appear to have been triggered by a public request from Mr. Igor Kalyapin, the president of JMG, to probe the legality of declarations of the Head of the Chechen Republic, after which Mr. Kalyapin was publicly accused of supporting terrorism. Mr. Kalyapin was the subject of two previous communications sent on 29 February 2012, see A/HRC/20/30 case RUS 1/2012, and 31 March 2014, see A/HRC/27/72 case RUS 4/2014.Alleged victims: 3 More details... |

Allegations concerning the failure of the Government of the Netherlands to provide emergency assistance to homeless irregular migrants. According to the information received, the Government denies emergency assistance, such as food, clothing and shelter, to adult homeless irregular migrants. Recently, in two separate decisions, the European Committee of Social Rights found that the Netherlands was violating the European Social Charter by failing to provide adequate access to emergency assistance to irregular migrants. Although over 60 municipalities have requested the Government to provide them with temporary budget support to offer such assistance to irregular migrants and to temporarily halt their eviction from centres for asylum-seekers as a way of preventing more individuals from becoming homeless, the Government has refused to honour their requests. Concern is expressed that the Government reportedly still maintains that it is not under any obligation to provide emergency assistance for homeless migrants in an irregular situation, which contradicts international human rights law.

According to the information received, persons with the genetic condition of albinism are being targeted in brutal, ritualized attacks for the harvesting of their body parts throughout the territory of the United Republic of Tanzania. It is reported that at least 139 attacks took place throughout Tanzania between 2007 and 2014. Investigations, prosecutions and sentencing concerning cases involving attacks against persons with albinism are extremely rare. It is further reported that when legal proceedings do occur, due process is typically not afforded to the victims, whose testimony is usually not considered, and who are not provided with legal assistance. Furthermore, persons with albinism living in State institutions are subjected to inhumane living conditions and treatment. Children in particular are allegedly subjected to severe mistreatment in the form of physical abuse and sexual violence.

Allegations of unjustified disconnections of water services in Detroit. According to the information received, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has been disconnecting water services from households who have not paid bills for two months, and has accelerated its pace from early-June by disconnecting 3,000 customers per week. As a result, some 30,000 households are expected to be disconnected from water services over the next few months. Because of a high poverty and unemployment rate, the increased costs of water and sanitation make them are unaffordable for a significant portion of the population. Voluntary funds have too little funding to support all households who cannot pay their water bills.Alleged victims: - More details... |

Alleged violation of the human rights of persons living in poverty in the context of austerity measures. According to the information received, the Government has undertaken a combination of wide-ranging legal reforms and policy interventions designed to reduce public expenditure at the national and local level. A number of these measures were brought into effect through the Welfare Reform Act 2012. In January 2014, it was announced that austerity measures would continue between 2015 and 2017, with a further £12 billion to be cut from welfare expenditure. Concerns are expressed that these measures could severely undermine minimum essential levels of economic and social rights (in particular the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to adequate housing, the right to food, and the right to social security) in certain circumstances. The interventions amount to retrogressive measures prohibited under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Alleged victims: - More details... |

Alleged concerns over the impact of the Multi-Year Tariff Order II (MYTO II) and its potential detrimental impact on the realization of human rights of people living in extreme poverty in Nigeria. According to the information received, the fact that there is no functioning metering system limits the ability to accurately set prices for electricity and leaves electricity bills vulnerable to mismanagement and arbitrary decisions, disproportionately affecting people living in poverty. Certain groups already vulnerable to poverty and social exclusion, including women heads of households and persons living in informal settlements and in rural areas, may be especially affected by the rise in tariffs under MYTO II enacted by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) on 1 June 2012.

Alleged concerns over the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures, in particular on the right to adequate housing and the right to an adequate standard of living. According to the information received, a combination of legal reforms, budget enactments and policy interventions conducted between 2010 and 2013 aimed at reducing public expenditures by historic margins at the national, regional and municipal levels. One of the main effects of the Government’s austerity policies has been that the number of people at risk of poverty and exclusion has significantly increased by over two million since 2008. The absence of official data on the number of evictions affecting family homes and the absence of regulations to relocate the evicted families reportedly has made it difficult to assess the dimensions of this problem.

Alleged eviction of 150 people living in Markens, and demolition of their houses, without providing alternative accommodation, relocation or compensation, order by the Supreme Court. According to the information received, the decision by the Supreme Court of Swaziland in the case of Umbane Limited v Sofi Dlamini and Three Others [2013] SZSC 25, dated 31 May 2013, ordered families living on the land to vacate it within twenty-one days or face eviction and demolition of their houses. The court offered no alternative accommodation or compensation for the affected community.

Alleged risk of eviction and forced displacement of a large number of Arab Bedouins in the Naqab (Negev) desert in the south of Israel. According to the information received, the “Law for the Regulation of Bedouin Settlement in the Negev- 2013”, a bill also known as the Prawer-Begin Bill, to be enacted into law in the coming days would lead to the eviction and forced displacement of more than 70,000 Arab Bedouins in the Naqab (Negev) desert in the south of Israel. Allegedly this would mean the destruction of most of the remaining unrecognized Arab Bedouin villages in this region. Concerns also include severance of the historical ties to land by the Bedouin community, strict limits and conditions to access and receive adequate compensation whether in money or land, and the use of force in the form of the deployment of additional police officers in charge of the implementation of this Plan.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Alleged increasing climate of violence in the context of the protests related to the trials before the Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal. According to the information received, large-scale protests have been held across Bangladesh since 5 February 2013. The protests were reportedly triggered by the pronouncement of verdicts against the leaders of the opposition Party Jamaat-e-Islami before the Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal. It is alleged that the protests turned violent, leading to clashes and attacks, including lethal attacks, perpetrated by both State and non-State actors. At least 88 persons were allegedly killed from 5 February to 5 March 2013. A large number of deaths were reportedly caused by the excessive use of force by the security forces while policing the protests. It is reported that serious attacks occurred against the members of the Hindu community, as well as against journalists and other media workers. At the time of drafting this communication, the protests and the ensuing violence in Bangladesh was still on-going.

Alleged potential detrimental impact on the realization of human rights of homeless persons by the recent adoption of article 8 of the Fourth Amendment to Hungary’s Fundamental Law. According to the information received, on 11 March the Hungarian Parliament adopted the Fourth Amendment to Hungary’s Fundamental Law. Reportedly, article 8(3) of the amendment states: “an Act of Parliament or local government decree may outlaw the use of certain public spaces for habitation in order to preserve the public order, public safety, public health and cultural values.” Concern has been raised that article 8(3) authorizes national and municipal legislation to criminalize sleeping in public spaces. Allegedly, such legislation will have a disproportionate impact on homeless persons and may impede their enjoyment of various human rights, including the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to adequate housing, freedom of movement and the right to liberty and security of person. Furthermore, this amendment contradicts a recent decision taken by the Hungarian Constitutional Court (decision II/1477/2012), which annulled previous legislation that criminalized habitual living in public spaces.

Allégations concernant la destruction de logement et expropriation ou expulsion possible d’environ mille personnes pour l’expansion de la gare de Cornavin, à Genève. Selon les informations reçues, les CFF (Chemins de Fer Fédéraux) envisageraient d’agrandir la Gare Cornavin à Genève d’ici à 2025, avec la construction en surface d’un quai et de deux voies supplémentaires. Le projet conduirait à la destruction de 385 logements (ce qui correspondrait à un millier de personnes), dans un quartier représentant un tissu économique et social unique à Genève. Un grand nombre de petits commerces seraient également affectés. Les alternatives de logement suggérées par les CFF ne répondraient pas aux besoins des habitants affectés; de plus aucun financement ne serait pour l’instant garanti. Aucune consultation sur ce projet n’aurait été entamée avec les habitants, et leurs besoins n’auraient pas été évalués. De plus, il y aurait des solutions alternatives, notamment la construction d’une gare souterraine, ce que les résidents ont proposé, mais ces alternatives n’auraient pas été examinées de manière adéquate par les CFF et les autorités.

Alleged negative impacts on human rights of affected communities of a proposed Bangladesh domestic policy permitting the construction of an open-pit coal mine in the township of Phulbari. Concerns transmitted to GCM Resources plc, which through its subsidiary Asia Energy Corporation (Bangladesh) Pty Ltd works under a contract with the Government of Bangladesh on the Phulbari Coal Mine project. According to information received, the open-pit coal mine in Phulbari, if constructed, would have a significant impact on food production and access by destroying approximately 12,000 acres of productive agricultural land, and on water access by lowering the water table 12 to 25 metres and potentially poisoning water sources. The proposed mine would allegedly displace up to 220,000 people over time, 50,000 of whom are indigenous peoples belonging to 23 different tribal groups. Current plans reportedly do not provide adequate compensation or resettlement, and have not included consultations with affected communities. Finally, allegations have been raised concerning continued efforts to stop human rights defenders from protesting the Phulbari coal mine and the resulting infringements on their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.Alleged victims: - More details... |

Alleged imminent forced eviction of approximately 350 Roma people from the Tor de’ Cenci camp in Rome. According to information received, over 350 people of Roma ethnicity are facing eviction from the Tor de’ Cenci camp in Rome, where they have been living for up to 16 years.

Alleged threat of mass forced evictions and additional violations of the right to adequate housing following the recent adoption of the Law for the Transformation of Areas under Disaster Risk. According to information received, the Law of 18 May 2012 threatens the enjoyment of the right to adequate housing of more than six million households. The Law presents a number of problematic provisions, in particular a lack of concrete definitions, accountability mechanisms, administrative or judicial recourse for affected communities, coupled with the extensive decision-making powers of Government and local authorities with regard to the determination of buildings to be demolished and the actual demolition process. The implementation of the Bill as it is may allegedly lead to mass forced evictions, infringements on the rights to property and housing, and to an increased number of people made homeless or left in worse housing and living conditions. Reports received indicate that there has been very little consultation with potentially affected communities and civil society organizations during the drafting of the Law.

Le 8 novembre 2010, les forces de sécurité marocaines auraient démantelé le camp, ce qui aurait conduit à un affrontement violent dans la ville d‘El-Ayoun entre les résidents du camp et les forces de sécurité. Cet affrontement aurait entraîné la mort de 11 membres des forces de l‘ordre et de 2 civils. Quelque 300 personnes auraient été détenues. Des personnes sahraouies auraient fait l‘objet d‘actes de torture et de mauvais traitements lors du démantèlement du camp, durant leur arrestation et leur détention.Alleged victims: - More details... |
