Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 44
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur noted with regret the widespread practices of forced evictions of migrants around the world. There were many instances where migrants, most often vulnerable groups such as irregular migrants, asylum-seekers and unaccompanied children, were forcibly evicted from their homes without adequate notice, prior consultation or alternative accommodation. These practices of forced evictions clearly undermined not only migrants' right to adequate housing, but also other related rights such as the rights to health, food, water and education.
Legal status
