Guiding Principles on security of tenure for the urban poor 2014, para. 9
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- States should take immediate and progressive measures to confer legal security of tenure on individuals and communities currently lacking protection. States should undertake human rights impact assessments of proposed measures, in the housing, land and financial sectors. These assessments should examine potential effects on all existing tenure forms and on groups vulnerable to eviction, including market-induced displacements. If there is risk of exacerbating tenure insecurity, alternatives should be considered or, as a last resort, mitigation measures should be developed. Based on these assessments, States should take legislative and programmatic measures to secure diverse tenure forms, prioritizing arrangements for those facing barriers to the full realization of their housing rights.
