| dc.description.abstract | 35 important legal cases are observed and reviewed that uphold constitutional and human rights-based rulings on right-to-housing. Petitions demand progressive realization of economic and social rights for marginalized and homeless people utilizing legal Articles and Provisions against evictions violations. There is a need for specific laws and legal frameworks governing evictions, as procedural protection for vulnerable populations. Often land is expropriated from informal settlements and the former inhabitants “resettled”. UN Eviction Guidelines are only a starting point. “Notwithstanding the type of tenure, all persons should possess a degree of security of tenure which guarantees legal protection against forced eviction, harassment or other threats.” | en |
