Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 67
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur welcomes the universal application of the right to adequate housing by regional human rights mechanisms. The European Committee of Social Rights recently enunciated that a State has an obligation to provide adequate shelter to irregular migrant children as long as they are in its jurisdiction and to ensure that the conditions should be such as to ensure human dignity. The Special Rapporteur encourages other regional human rights mechanisms to promote the principle of non-discrimination in the application of the right to adequate housing.
