Witchcraft and the human rights of persons with albinism 2017, para. 44 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | While defining witchcraft as an element of crime raises issues, witchcraft accusations could be objectively defined without defining witchcraft.

The impact of housing finance policies on the right to adequate housing of those living in poverty 2012, para. 48 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Despite substantial Government budgetary investment and specific targeting of low-income households, capital-grant subsidies have partially promoted only the affordability aspect of the right to adequate housing (by substantially reducing housing deficits in some developing countries), at the expense of the broader aspects of habitability, location, availability of services and infrastructure and non-discrimination, which have been largely ignored. As one commentator observed, the new stock of subsidized housing often created a greater housing problem: "the problem of those 'with roofs'". | Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living | Special Procedures' report |

Financialization of housing and the right to adequate housing 2017, para. 34 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Increased prices of housing and real estate assets have become key drivers in the creation of greater wealth inequality. Those who own property in prime urban locations have become richer, while lower-income households confronting the escalating costs of housing become poorer. Surveys of ultra-high-net-worth individuals show that more than half have increased the proportion of their investments allocated to residential properties, with the most common reasons being in order to sell at a later date and to provide a safe haven for wealth. The "economics of inequality", in fact, may be explained in large part by the inequalities of wealth generated by housing and real estate investments. Buying a home with a mortgage becomes a speculative investment depending on volatile financial markets, which may generate considerable wealth on leveraged equity or, alternatively, deprive households of a lifetime of savings. | Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living | Special Procedures' report |

Homelessness as a global human rights crisis that demands an urgent global response 2016, para. 68 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Some States have also been reluctant to collect and provide reliable data, perceiving it to be contrary to their interests, particularly if they are seeking to attract development or tourism or to host mega events. Data collected by governments need to be supplemented by information that may only be available to non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations working directly with homeless populations. | Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living | Special Procedures' report |
| 2016 | |||

Eradicating contemporary forms of slavery from supply chains 2015, para. 68i | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Against this backdrop, the Special Rapporteur wishes to make the following recommendations to States:] Special attention of States should be given to the risk of contemporary forms of slavery in the informal economy, including by identifying at risk sectors and conducting effective labour inspections; | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Debt bondage as a key form of contemporary slavery 2016, para. 6 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | People enter the status or condition of debt bondage when their labour, or the labour of a third party under their control, is demanded as repayment of a loan or of money given in advance, and the value of their labour is not applied towards the liquidation of the debt or the length of the service is not limited and/or the nature of the service is not defined. Consequently, bonded labourers are often trapped into working for very little remuneration, or in some cases none, to repay the loan or advance, even though the value of their labour exceeds that sum of money. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
| 2016 | |||
Eradicating contemporary forms of slavery from supply chains 2015, para. 70c | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [The Special Rapporteur would like to make the following recommendations to other stakeholders:] Consumers should play a more active role in scrutinizing the origin of products and promoting ethical sourcing and other fair trade initiatives; | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Eradicating contemporary forms of slavery from supply chains 2015, para. 69g | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [In relation to businesses, the Special Rapporteur recommends the following:] Business should engage in capacity-building to ensure management and staff, as well as the relevant business partner, awareness-raising on the nature and risks of contemporary forms of slavery in supply chains and the strategies for its eradication. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Taxation and human rightss 2014, para. 53 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Income distribution and its management through taxation also have a crucial relationship with democracy. Growing income disparities can serve to polarize and fragment societies, which can ultimately lead to alienation and social unrest. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Human rights based approach to recovery from the global economic and financial crises, with a focus on those living in poverty 2011, para. 45 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | A significant percentage of post-crises austerity budgets have included proposals to limit the public wage bill by reducing the public sector workforce and cutting or freezing wages of public sector employees. Often these cuts are not progressively implemented, and therefore have a disproportionate impact on the lowest wage brackets. UNICEF has expressed concern that wage cuts or caps might translate into the reduction or erosion of the real value of salaries, as costs of living continue to rise, and may take the form of hiring freezes or employment retrenchment. The serious implications of such developments would be exacerbated by the fact that declines in real wages were already widespread owing to the effect of the global economic and financial crises on the labour market. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 32 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Negative income taxes, inspired by the work of Milton Friedman, ensure that individuals who earn below a certain threshold receive payments from the government, rather than having to pay taxes. It is similar to basic income in that every citizen is automatically and unconditionally eligible, but it differs from the full basic income in that benefits phase out as incomes rise. Amounts may also be adjusted for households. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |
| 2017 | |||
Extreme inequality and human rights 2015, para. 8 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Current income-inequality figures are quite dramatic. According to a 2008 study by the International Labour Organization (ILO), over the past two decades the income gap between the top and bottom 10 per cent of wage earners increased in 70 per cent of the countries for which data was available. According to a recent Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) study, the gap between rich and poor in OECD countries is at its highest level in 30 years. In 2007, the average executive manager in the 15 largest firms in the United States of America earned more than 500 times what the average employee in the United States earned, compared with over 300 times in 2003, and similar patterns can be observed in many other countries. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Extreme inequality and human rights 2015, para. 16 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | The differences in intergenerational economic mobility between countries are not random. Studies have shown a clear negative relationship between economic inequalities in a country and intergenerational earnings mobility. Alan Krueger has called this the "Great Gatsby curve". Joseph Stiglitz has written that the ideal of equal opportunity is increasingly a myth in many countries and that the decline in opportunity has gone hand in hand with growing inequality. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 66e | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [One of the biggest challenges in relation to basic income is to move beyond its chameleon-like character. There are many versions of it, and each is supported by a diverse array of actors, precisely because they see different attractions in the concept. To assess the utility and acceptability of basic income from a human rights perspective, it is helpful to identify the main categories of motivation.] Freedom, in the sense of the ability to make career and related choices, or the ability to exercise political rights because of a degree of economic security; | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Taxation and human rightss 2014, para. 63 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | In many countries, business enterprises are taxed at a very low rate, even if they make large profits, owing in large part to the infrastructure, healthy educated workforce and other resources that public funds enable. In addition, many large transnational corporations are able to effectively avoid tax in many jurisdictions, including in countries where they make large profits. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 18 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | In the United Kingdom, basic income proposals were prominent in the period after both world wars. In 1918, Bertrand Russell called for an income for all, sufficient to pay for “necessaries” in post-First World War Britain. And when the Beveridge plan was being debated in 1943, Juliet Rhys-Williams proposed a basic income approach instead of Beveridge’s contributory welfare state plan. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 30 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Strong support has also come from technology entrepreneurs. According to media reports, the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, the web guru Tim O’Reilly, and “a cadre of other Silicon Valley denizens have expressed support for” basic income, calling it the “social vaccine of the twenty-first century”. Sam Altman, the president of Y Combinator, the largest start-up “accelerator” in Silicon Valley, is funding a basic income pilot scheme in Oakland, California. He believes that “people should be as free as possible to get ‘as rich as they … want’, so long as the people at the very bottom still have all their basic needs met”. GiveDirectly, funded in part by Google, also seeks to finance basic income experiments in East Africa. Comments made by many of these entrepreneurs suggest that basic income is seen as a way to sustain and legitimize a world in which employment opportunities will be drastically reduced and to reinforce consumer demand which would be greatly weakened without a broad-based minimum redistribution of income. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 64 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | It does not follow from the gap between theory and practice that labour rights should be compromised, let alone abandoned, but it does highlight the fact that traditional approaches might not have much traction in the face of the systematic weakening of labour market institutions, the dramatic increase in more flexible working conditions, and the greatly increased insecurity, including the loss of non-wage benefits, for those who remain employed. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |
