Financialization of housing and the right to adequate housing 2017, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- In addition to the more obvious requirements, within the framework of human rights, to ensure that housing developers exercise due diligence, comply with safety standards and adopt policies of non-discrimination, for example, States may also be required to ensure that investment in housing complies with a rights-based housing strategy and with the target of ensuring adequate housing for all by 2030. Private actors may be required to take particular steps to ensure access to credit for disadvantaged households and to address the needs of residents of informal settlements, women, migrants and people with disabilities. The obligation of States to facilitate the realization of the right to housing by establishing a coherent strategy at both the national and international levels with clearly allocated roles and responsibilities is central to the commitments made by States in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda.

Financialization of housing and the right to adequate housing 2017, para. 8
- Paragraph text
- A report on the topic is timely as States embark on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. If the commitment in target 11.1 to ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services is to be achieved by 2030, it is essential to consider the role of international finance and financial actors in housing systems. That will help to identify and address more effectively patterns of systemic exclusion, to ensure more meaningful human rights accountability for issues of displacement, evictions, demolitions and homelessness, and the engagement of all relevant actors in the realization of the right to adequate housing.

Access to rights-based support for persons with disabilities 2017, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- Persons with disabilities belonging to groups that have been historically discriminated against or disadvantaged (such as indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities and persons living with HIV/AIDS) are disproportionately affected in accessing support arrangements and services. This also applies to migrants, persons living in conflict situations, internally displaced persons, refugees, asylum seekers, stateless persons and prisoners with disabilities, as humanitarian responses tend to overlook their support needs. Moreover, there is a strong link between belonging to a racial and cultural minority and experiencing coercion and institutionalization. Policies and programmes to ensure access to support must seek to overcome the impact of the multiple and aggravated forms of discrimination faced by persons with disabilities belonging to these groups in accessing support.

Reflections on the six-year tenure of the Special Rapporteur 2017, para. 93
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has observed challenges to the use of the term "minority" for certain distinct communities, either because they reject being referred as minorities on the basis of a perceived negative connotation, or because they self-identify as minorities but the State refuses to recognize them as such. She considers that further awareness-raising is required to fully convey the meaning, scope and implications of the term "minority", so that it can be reclaimed and used with the empowering intent it actually holds. Moreover, she recalls that the existence of an ethnic, religious or linguistic minority in a given State does not depend upon a decision by the Government but needs to be established by objective criteria. Members of those minorities need not be nationals or citizens, or even permanent residents. Therefore, she encourages States to be as inclusive as possible when designing protection measures for all disadvantaged minorities within their territories, including migrant workers and newly arrived minorities.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 50
- Paragraph text
- Lack of information, of consultation and of meaningful participation, or tokenistic participation, means that recovery efforts are more likely to fail and may not meet the needs or expectations of the internally displaced communities affected. It can result in deeper and more persistent levels of poverty, as internally displaced persons face the challenges of re-establishing normal lives and appropriate livelihoods under conditions that they were not fully involved in shaping. The challenges to ensuring the meaningful participation of internally displaced persons are significant and must be acknowledged to have hampered efforts in some situations. Cultural, social, historical and political factors must all be taken into account when shaping participation programmes. The challenge remains to ensure that inclusive participation of internally displaced persons is systematically applied and effectively managed in all displacement situations.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur recognizes the mandate’s responsibility to raise awareness of — and support action to prevent or address — neglected causes of displacement, and to raise awareness about populations of internally displaced persons who require greater visibility and attention. These drivers include development projects and generalized violence, and may also include complex and interlinked causes, such as the intersection between conflict, development and business interests. The number of people internally displaced by such factors may run to millions worldwide, who do not feature in the annual displacement figures as these commonly reflect only persons who have been internally displaced by conflict and disasters.

The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. Indicator (d)
- Paragraph text
- [Protect all migrants from all forms of discrimination and violence, including racism, xenophobia, sexual and gender-based violence and hate speech] Significant investment is made in mechanisms for providing information and education on a culture of diversity, the focus of which is to create awareness of the cultural, social and economic contributions of migrants, support the reintegration of migrants and their families into their countries of origin, empower marginalized groups, including migrants, in the social, political and economic fields, and empower migrants to combat all forms of discrimination, labour exploitation, abuse, xenophobia, violence and related intolerance.

The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 31
- Paragraph text
- Conflict and displacement also give rise to increased numbers of persons with disabilities. In Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic and the Gaza Strip, for example, conflict has contributed to high numbers of persons with disabilities. At the same time, in each of those places, adequate, accessible housing is extremely scarce, with housing stock having been destroyed and a lack of access or specific policies blocking access to the materials and resources necessary to rebuild homes. In refugee camps, poorly lit and remotely located latrines can lead to difficult access and experiences of sexual violence for women with disabilities, while crowded, narrow walkways can result in persons with visual impairments falling into open sewers.

The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 35
- Paragraph text
- In his third report to the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/26/29), in which he assessed the threats against groups most at risk when exercising their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association, the previous mandate holder focused on the challenges facing groups that were often relegated to the margins of society, both in their daily lives and in the exercise of those rights. In the report, he highlighted the link between the denial of those rights and the marginalization of such groups and how that marginalization exacerbated their inability to effectively exercise their rights. Some of the groups considered to be most at risk were persons with disabilities; youth, including children; women; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people; members of minority groups; indigenous peoples; internally displaced persons; and non-nationals, including refugees, asylum seekers and migrant workers. For the purpose of the report, the groups most at risk also included groups and individuals who were targeted not because of their identity, but because they actively lobbied for the rights of those most at risk of discrimination and retribution. He noted that human rights defenders, including journalists, trade unionists and environmental activists, faced considerable opposition, harassment, stigmatization and even physical attacks from State and non-State actors in many countries.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- At the national level, the Special Rapporteur has been deeply concerned by challenges experienced on the ground by humanitarian and development partners in the delivery of their essential services and assistance. These include challenges regarding access to persons and communities affected by internal displacement, due to security concerns or restrictions imposed by national governments, as well as by non-State armed groups and similar non-State actors, particularly in conflict situations. These obstacles seriously hamper their ability to provide essential and life-saving support. The Special Rapporteur will support and collaborate with United Nations agencies and bodies to advocate strongly for States to fulfil their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law and standards to provide free and unfettered access to all communities in need of assistance. In this context, the Special Rapporteur would also like to give due attention to the role of non-State actors.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- Interaction with internally displaced persons commonly reveals: a lack of information provided to them at all phases of displacement; infrequent engagement by the authorities responsible; an absence of or inadequate mechanisms and processes for consultation and participation; and decision-making processes that fail to take their views, needs and objectives fully into account. Ensuring that internally displaced persons are included from the outset, in the design, planning and implementation of all actions and measures directed towards them, must be at the heart of responses by national governments and by all humanitarian, development and other relevant actors. Participation empowers internally displaced communities, informs them of their rights and is instrumental in the process of community resilience-building and recovery, where it is effective and results-oriented. Moreover, meaningful participation returns essential dignity to communities devastated by displacement, allowing them to be agents in their own recovery rather than only beneficiaries of assistance.

The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- Migrants, especially those with a precarious residence status, are vulnerable to abuse and labour exploitation. Certain categories of migrants, such as migrant women and children, temporary migrant workers and undocumented migrants are more intrinsically vulnerable to abuse, violence and exploitation. The physical, sexual and psychological abuse of female migrant domestic workers appears to be widespread, and they are often exposed to health and safety threats without being provided with adequate information and support. For most migrants, it can be very difficult or impossible to obtain meaningful access to an effective remedy for rights violations.

- Paragraph text
- Migrants may be more vulnerable to poor health by virtue of their often low socioeconomic status, the sometimes harrowing process of migration and their vulnerability as non-nationals in the new country. The mental health of migrants is an issue of concern, with factors such as human rights violations before or during the migration process, social isolation caused by separation from family and social networks, job insecurity, difficult living conditions, detention and exploitative treatment potentially having adverse effects. Migrant women and girls often experience more problematic pregnancy and gynaecological health issues as compared with the host population. Those working in domestic services face widespread physical, sexual and psychological abuse and thus require urgent health care and protection. Access to health care for migrants and the level of such care, however, varies enormously, depending on State policies and the immigration status of the migrant.

- Newly arrived migrants could face a variety of challenges in accessing public services, such as health care, education or housing, given their limited command of the local language and their lack of knowledge of the laws and systems of the host country. The enjoyment of such rights by migrants is effectively hampered in the absence of relevant support, such as the provision of language training or free information on relevant laws and regulations. A related concern is the lack of disaggregated indicators on the economic, social and cultural rights of all migrants, which would be useful for adequate policy-making, including on enhancing the accessibility of such services.

To monitor the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, it will be important to improve the availability of, and access to, data and statistics disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts to support the monitoring of the implementation of the Goals. The goal indicators should include the use of data from the existing mechanisms for monitoring compliance with human rights standards, especially the universal periodic review mechanism of the Human Rights Council and reviews of compliance with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
