Guiding Principles on security of tenure for the urban poor 2014, para. 6
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Security of tenure guarantees that people access and enjoy their home without fear of forced evictions, and enables them to improve their housing and living conditions. It provides a foundation for the enjoyment of all aspects of the right to adequate housing and other human rights. Conversely, when tenure insecurity results in forced eviction and homelessness, many human rights are violated and denied.
