Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Civil society organizations have brought new and diverse housing issues before the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and also before the Human Rights Committee, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. By doing so, they have encouraged various treaty monitoring bodies to consider State obligations with respect to the right to housing in diverse circumstances and to clarify the links between the right to housing and other human rights. These dynamic interactions between national experiences and international human rights mechanisms benefit and strengthen both.
