Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 37
- Paragraph text
- The free market fundamentalist ideology opposes the very existence of trade unions in general, with one author arguing that they are viewed as "monopolist agents manipulating the price of labour to the advantage of some (a minority) and to the disadvantage of others (the majority, including non-unionized workers and consumers)". The Special Rapporteur views anti-unionism as an inherently troubling aspect of free market fundamentalism, as the right to organize in the workplace is protected by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and through various conventions of the International Labour Organization.

Mapping and framing security of tenure 2013, para. 10
- Paragraph text
- The United Nations Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) provides data on "slums", the word it has adopted to define such settlements. One UN-Habitat study estimated that 924 million people were living in slums in 2001; an estimate for 2010 placed the number at about 828 million. However, by 2010 tenure security was not taken into account in the UN-Habitat measurements of slums, hence the latter figure offers only a very small insight into the current extent of tenure insecurity in urban areas. Similarly, the revised indicator for the Millennium Development Goal target of improving the lives of 100 million slum dwellers (7 (d)) does not include security of tenure. While this particular target was reached, the question remains as to whether this result reflects the real situation of slums and informal settlements worldwide. Developing effective ways to measure tenure (in)security is an urgent imperative, including for the Millennium Development Goals and the United Nations development agenda beyond 2015.

- At the same time, as noted by the Working Group on Countering the Use of Internet for Terrorist Purposes, one of the nine working groups of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, the available means to suppress content deemed to be incitement to terrorism are often "clumsy or ineffective, or both", and thus it may be more effective to devise strategies that work with the Internet rather than against it, including the dissemination of rapid counter-narratives to extremist messages which constitute incitement to terrorism.

Access to land and the right to food 2010, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- Finally, the creation of a market for land rights may itself have a series of undesirable consequences. The primary justification for the establishment of such a market is that it facilitates the reallocation of land towards more efficient users, thus providing an exit route from agriculture for rural residents for whom farming is not sufficiently profitable. Accordingly, the World Bank notes, "secure and unambiguous property rights … allow markets to transfer land to more productive uses and users". However, the impact of titling on farm productivity has often been unclear when it has not been complemented by schemes providing producers with appropriate levels of support. Land sales tend to favour not those who can make the most efficient use of land, but those who have access to capital and whose ability to purchase land is greatest. In fact, the creation of a land rights market can cause land to be taken out of production in order to be held as an investment by speculators, resulting both in decreased productivity and in increased landlessness among the rural poor. The poorest farmers could easily be induced to sell land and then be "priced out", particularly if they have fallen into debt as a result of a bad harvest or other circumstances. Thus, considered in isolation from other policies, individual titling may have counterproductive effects, increasing the vulnerability of the poor. Indeed, the idea that individual titling contributes to poverty reduction as land is transformed into capital presupposes that property is transformed into collateral, collateral into credit and credit into income. However, the poor, for whom land is an essential social safety net where no others are available, may in fact be reluctant to mortgage their land in order to gain access to credit. Nor does titling necessarily result in significantly greater access to the credit offered by private financial institutions.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- Global supply chains are putting downward pressure on wages and working conditions, and distancing workers from their rights to freedom of association because workers fill permanent jobs but are denied permanent employee rights. These arrangements - found in both formal and informal work, including part-time, short-term or temporary contracts, on-call schedules, multilayered subcontracts or franchises, and bogus self-employment schemes - are designed to drive down costs. As a result of the widespread use of this practice, 1.5 billion people - 46 per cent of the world's total number of workers - are working in so called "precarious employment". In both Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, more than 70 per cent of workers are employed that way.
