The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- “Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of persons” is a guiding principle set forth in article 3 (a) of the Convention that is particularly critical in the interpretation of the right to adequate housing. The deprivation of choice of where and with whom to live is often the most critical assault on dignity and autonomy for persons with disabilities.

- Homelessness for persons with disabilities is also linked to the breakdown of family relationships. A study in Montreal, Canada, of homeless persons with intellectual disabilities found that almost all individuals who lived on the street or in shelters had had no contact with their families since becoming homeless. On mission in Chile, the Special Rapporteur visited a homeless shelter run by the Salvation Army in Valparaiso where many of the residents were persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities who had been shunned or abandoned by their families.

- Mass displacement caused by situations of risk, including armed conflict, humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters, has catastrophic effects on persons with disabilities. In a survey by the United Nations, it was found that only 20 per cent of persons with disabilities could evacuate their living spaces immediately without difficulty in the event of an emergency and that a disproportionate number would be injured or die in the event of a disaster because their needs would not met by organized efforts. Persons with disabilities who are refugees, affected by disasters or living in conflict and post-conflict situations are especially vulnerable to mass, often repeated displacement, resource shortages, limited or non-existent services and access to rehabilitation or reconstruction and a wide array of security concerns.

- In Purohit and Moore v. the Gambia, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights considered a case of forcible institutionalization without due process in the Gambia. The Commission not only found that the legislation itself violated provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, but also took note of the obligation to progressively realize the right to health by addressing violations of socioeconomic rights. The Commission stated that, throughout Africa, poverty rendered persons “incapable to provide the necessary amenities, infrastructure and resources that facilitate the full enjoyment of [the right to health]” and read into the right to health the obligation of States parties to the African Charter “to take concrete and targeted steps, while taking full advantage of its available resources, to ensure that the right to health is fully realized in all its aspects without discrimination of any kind”.

Mexico reports that its Federal Law for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities of 2011 and its regulation of 2012 explicitly provide for the right to dignified housing (art. 18). The legislation also establishes the right to universal accessibility and housing (art. 16) and is complemented by initiatives and programmes that provide subsidies and lines of credit to make physical alterations to houses to enhance living conditions for persons with disabilities.

- Paragraph text
- Human rights treaty bodies have specifically addressed the need for special measures when referring to indigenous peoples within the context of monitoring compliance with their respective human rights treaties. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has noted that “the situation of indigenous peoples has always been a matter of close attention and concern. In this respect, the Committee has consistently affirmed that discrimination against indigenous peoples falls under the scope of the Convention and that all appropriate means must be taken to combat and eliminate such discrimination.” It has furthermore noted that “States parties should ensure that special measures are designed and implemented on the basis of prior consultation with affected communities and the active participation of such communities”.

Implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the work of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples 2017, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- The effective implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples requires States to develop an ambitious programme of reforms at all levels to remedy past and current injustices. This should involve all the branches of the State, including the executive, legislative and judiciary, and implies a combination of political will, legal reform, technical capacity and financial commitment. Implementation of the Declaration should be measured against compliance with these requirements, and not on the basis of rhetorical claims of commitment or isolated measures. Moreover, implementation of the Declaration cannot happen without the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples at all levels of decision making.

The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- Human rights protection in housing for persons with disabilities varies considerably among States. A growing number of countries have expressly included the right to housing in their constitutions or human rights legislation, and many also enumerate disability as a prohibited ground of discrimination. Some countries rely on universal guarantees of equality and non-discrimination, which are extended to persons with disabilities. In other countries, however, non-discrimination laws regarding disability are written in the context of specific sectors, such as employment, but fail to include non-discrimination and the duty to provide reasonable accommodation in the context of housing.

- In its recent white paper on the rights of persons with disabilities, the Department of Social Services of South Africa called for a comprehensive strategy to realize the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities consistent with the transformative nature of the constitutional right to housing, including supported community living plans, subsidized housing support, universal design as a requirement in infrastructure grants and a sustainable community-based system for support for independent living. In the white paper, emphasis was laid on the critical importance of strengthening the enforcement of existing legislation, improving access to courts, complaints mechanisms and institutions and strengthening the capacity of institutions such as the South African Human Rights Commission and of organizations for persons with disabilities to support persons with disabilities in gaining access to justice.

The four countries that voted against the Declaration have now reversed their position, and some of the countries that abstained have also made public statements of support. Moreover, States reaffirmed their commitment to take measures to achieve the ends of the Declaration in consultation and cooperation with indigenous peoples at the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in 2014.

- Freedom of choice for persons with disabilities is not just a civil and political right to freedom from forced institutionalization. In article 19 of the Convention, the right to be free to choose where and with whom one lives is set out as a positive right to be included in the community, with access to a range of residential and other support services. In addition, article 19 must be read in conjunction with and is reinforced by article 28 to require not only services but also adequate, accessible housing in which to live.

- In other circumstances, however, living with family is not an appropriate or safe option. Persons with disabilities are more likely to be subjected to abuse within families or other households. A study in Uganda found that half of interviewees with psychosocial disabilities reported having been subjected to abuse at the hands of their relatives. Another study found a high incidence of abuse among children with disabilities by someone upon whom they were dependent for survival and well-being. Individuals are sometimes tied or chained up by family members or left locked in isolation. The ability to speak out is limited by the individual’s isolation and dependence upon the perpetrator for support, and, in many situations, there is no one to turn to for help.

- In the Convention, a broad and substantive concept of the right to equality and non-discrimination is affirmed. Prohibited discrimination includes any distinction, exclusion or restriction on the basis of disability that has the purpose or effect of impairing or nullifying the enjoyment of human rights, including the right to adequate housing. As such, the provision extends to any failures to address systemic inequality in access to adequate housing, including those relating to inadequate services, insufficient social protection and a lack of affordable housing.

- Paragraph text
- Under article 9, States are required to ensure that all housing available to the public, including social and private rental housing, takes into account all aspects of accessibility for persons with disabilities. In the article, a broad range of accessibility issues “encompassing the physical environment, transportation, information and communication, and services” are addressed and obligations are established to: ensure physical accessibility, such as through ramps and accessible doors, as well as the accessibility of windows, bathrooms and kitchens; remove the communication barriers confronted by persons with disabilities applying for and living in housing; and ensure access to work, services and public spaces — in short, to ensure that all aspects of the housing environment are accessible. As the Special Rapporteur has consistently noted in her dialogue with government officials, under that article, States are also required to address economic and social accessibility barriers by ensuring sufficient benefits or housing subsidies to cover the cost of adequate housing and other services.

The reasonableness standard has been incorporated into the Optional Protocol to the Covenant. Courts, treaty bodies and commentators have articulated a standard of “reasonableness” in assessing whether the positive measures taken by States meet the requirements of international human rights law.

- Water, sanitation and hygiene facilities are often inaccessible and located some distance from the home. Those with mobility impairments may be dependent on assistance or forced to drag themselves along the ground to reach the facilities. In many situations, persons with disabilities are simply unable to gain access to toilets, must defecate in their homes and are often unable to remove waste. Streets or alleys in informal settlements are often sand, gravel or mud, sometimes built into steep cliffs and hill-sides, and are not accessible to persons in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility.

- Standards of habitability vary considerably with different impairments and must respond to both the physical and the social dimensions of housing. Persons with disabilities may find it difficult to build habitable homes in informal settlements and face challenges in relation to maintenance and repair. Protection against violence or abuse is also critical to ensuring habitability for persons with disabilities. Physical modifications may be required to ensure habitability, such as sound-proofing of apartments for persons with autism.

- The inability to afford adequate housing is frequently the greatest obstacle facing persons with disabilities in realizing their right thereto. They are more likely to live in poverty, and they have higher housing, equipment and health-care costs. Family income is reduced when a family member has to take on the role of support person. Inadequate levels of financial assistance and/or housing subsidies often make it impossible for persons with disabilities to obtain adequate housing and significantly increase the risk of homelessness.

- The experiences of persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities living in informal settlements and homeless encampments vary. In some cases, communities develop impressive informal networks to provide the necessary support and ensure inclusion in the community, providing community living that avoids institutionalization and segregation. In other situations, however, as observed first-hand by the Special Rapporteur on mission, informal settlements duplicate societal patterns of discrimination and isolation, exacerbated by deprivation of the most basic necessities.

- True reconciliation requires affirmative steps to provide remedy and redress for indigenous peoples. As stated in the Declaration, this is required inter alia for the dispossession of their land, territories and resources, for any form of forced assimilation or integration, for taking cultural, intellectual, religious or spiritual property, for the deprivation of their means of subsistence as well as for the development and for the utilization or exploitation of their mineral, water or other resources. An essential approach for redress in these processes is the consideration of the collective nature of the impact of such violations and therefore the incorporation of adequate collective reparation measures. Without definite measures of remedy, reconciliation cannot be achieved.

In addition to the core services identified in general comment No. 4, States must ensure that persons with disabilities have access to a diverse range of services linked to living autonomously, as articulated in article 19 of the Convention, including in-home, residential and community support services. Services should be matters of free choice for persons with disabilities, not linked to security of tenure or residency.

- Under its inquiry procedure, the Committee responded to concerns about violations of the right to adequate housing raised by persons with disabilities in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and by the previous mandate holder after her mission. The Committee documented the extremely punitive and damaging effects of austerity measures, including the removal of the spare-room subsidy and a reduction of the housing benefit for working-age social housing tenants. In Scotland, the reform affected 82,000 households, 80 per cent of which were households with adults with disabilities. The Committee concluded that the impact of those measures constituted “grave or systematic violations” of the rights of tenants of social housing with disabilities, including the rights to reasonable accommodation and non-discrimination, to independent living and being included in the community, to an adequate standard of living, including adequate housing, to social protection and to employment.

States should ensure access to justice for claims relating to the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities, establish complaints and accountability mechanisms and ensure that courts are authorized and adequately resourced to hear and adjudicate claims relating to the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities. National human rights institutions also have an important role to play in facilitating participation and effective monitoring by providing independent accountability mechanisms and in facilitating access to justice through complaints procedures or by supporting or initiating systemic claims before courts or tribunals.

- In only one communication considered under the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has a violation of article 28 been alleged. In the case of H.M. v. Sweden, a municipality refused to grant an exception to a development plan to allow the claimant to build a hydrotherapy pool required for the treatment of her health condition. Having found that the refusal of reasonable accommodation violated the claimant’s right to non-discrimination, as well as her rights under article 19, the Committee declined to decide whether that denial also violated article 28. It is noteworthy, however, that the Committee extended the remedy beyond the author’s individual circumstances, recommending that the State party ensure that “its legislation and the manner in which it is applied by domestic courts is consistent with the State party’s obligations under the Convention”. This is an example of the manner in which reasonable accommodation claims can give rise to individual as well as systemic and/or legislative remedies.

- Most housing and development is designed as if persons with disabilities do not exist, will not live there or deserve no consideration. Housing programmes and urban planning are rarely vetted for barrier-free design, and international development assistance for housing rarely includes requirements or resources for accessible housing. Housing funding and individual housing subsidies provided by many Governments are based on what are considered “normal” expenditures on food, housing and other necessities, without consideration of the higher expenditure requirements of persons with disabilities. Eligibility for credit or for rental contracts is usually assessed on the basis of the “normal” ratio of credit or rent to income, which would be unattainable and certainly not “normal” for persons with disabilities.

- For the Special Rapporteur, it is critical that both dimensions of States’ positive obligations be implemented on the basis of a robust standard of reasonableness. That means adopting reasonable measures to address the systemic need for adequate and accessible housing of persons with disabilities by implementing necessary programmes and budgetary allocations while also meeting the immediate obligation to accommodate individual needs. The requirement of reasonable measures in both contexts should be seen as a rigorous standard to be met, never as a defence for inaction.

- The most substantive remedies with respect to the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities have tended to emerge from claims relating to deinstitutionalization and forced evictions. In the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Olmstead v. L.C., the Court recognized that States had an obligation, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, to take reasonable measures to ensure that persons with psychosocial disabilities were able to live outside institutions in the least restrictive environment, with a waiting list for services that moved at a “reasonable” pace. The federal Government, through the Department of Housing Urban Development, has provided guidelines and support to states to encourage the implementation of the decision. In another case under the Act, an appeals court ordered a private landlord to be flexible with respect to employment and income qualifications for rental housing, recognizing their exclusionary effect on persons with disabilities.

- Few States have developed rights-based strategies to address the housing circumstances of persons with disabilities within their jurisdiction, and even fewer have adopted a holistic and systemic approach. Many States continue to rely predominantly on charities and operate within an outdated charitable model in relation to disability. Where rights-based housing strategies and programmes have been developed, they are often not matched with commitments of funds or effective implementation. In other cases, policies may extend to provide support to accommodate physical impairments with respect to housing, but not psychosocial and intellectual disabilities.

In Singapore, the Housing and Development Board has committed itself to ensuring that barrier-free housing is implemented across its public housing sector, in which 80 per cent of the population resides, including through measures such as increasing elevator availability, Braille signage and voice synthesizers. In Brazil, in the Act on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (2015), it is required that 3 per cent of publicly funded housing be available to persons with disabilities.

Implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the work of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples 2017, para. 13
- Paragraph text
- In this regard, the view that the implementation of the rights enshrined in the Declaration amounts to bestowing unjustified privileges on a certain group is a serious concern. This view was held by some States after the adoption of the Declaration and, unfortunately, it has been since reiterated by other actors, including international financial institutions, in the framework of discussions on safeguards to ensure respect for the rights of indigenous peoples. This erroneous interpretation has also been expressed with regard to the special measures required to overcome centuries of racism and discrimination.

The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- Effective remedies for violations of the right to adequate housing must be provided wherever possible by interpreting and applying domestic law consistently with the right to housing of persons with disabilities under international human rights law. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights emphasized that “guarantees of equality and non-discrimination should be interpreted, to the greatest extent possible, in ways which facilitate the full protection of economic, social and cultural rights”. Unfortunately, even in the wealthiest countries, where there are sufficient resources to ensure the right to housing of persons with disabilities, courts have failed to interpret domestic human rights guarantees of equality consistently with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and refused to apply such guarantees so as to hold Governments accountable for failures to address widespread homelessness and inadequate housing among persons with disabilities.

- Inaccessible housing and programmes designed without consideration of the needs of persons with disabilities deprive society of the benefits of the full participation of persons with disabilities in all areas of life and are costly to States. Moreover, reasonable accommodation of individual needs is considerably more costly and difficult than it would be if housing were designed to be accessible or easily modified.

The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has proposed a new rights-based framework under which homelessness is understood as a deprivation of housing (both physical and social) but also as a socially constructed group identity that is linked to stigmatization and discrimination, much of which is rooted in perceptions about persons with disabilities. As a result, in most places, that population suffers severe isolation and neglect. Homelessness and related violations of the right to life often result from deinstitutionalization without adequate community support or affordable housing in the community.

The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- Equality and non-discrimination are crucial for the realization of the right to housing of persons with disabilities under article 28. States must take positive measures to the maximum of available resources to address systemic homelessness and deprivation of housing, which disproportionately affects persons with disabilities, and to strive towards the full realization of the right to adequate housing for all persons with disabilities. In the Convention, it is made abundantly clear that the right to non-discrimination of persons with disabilities is not simply a negative right, requiring Governments and private actors to refrain from actions that exclude persons with disabilities, but also a positive right, requiring them to take measures to ensure the enjoyment of the right to housing. As Andrea Broderick notes, “the intersection of equality and socioeconomic rights in the [Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities] may provide a key to unlocking the structural inequalities which disabled people, and by extension other marginalised groups, have encountered for too long now”.

- Paragraph text
- The obligations of both public and private housing providers with respect to security of tenure must be interpreted and applied in the light of the overriding obligation to ensure the right of persons with disabilities to live in adequate and secure housing within the community, with access to services and support. States must ensure legal protection against forced evictions in all forms of housing tenure, from ownership and formal rental agreements to informal settlements. No eviction should be permitted that would result in the loss of housing or necessary forms of support for persons with disabilities. Where relocation is unavoidable or agreed to by those affected, alternative housing must be provided that meets all requirements for accommodation of disability and ensures access to community support. Persons with disabilities should not be required to move from the centres of cities, where there are services and opportunities for participation in social networks and employment, to outlying areas, where opportunities for meaningful social participation are fewer, leading to isolation.

- Paragraph text
- The Constitution of Kenya of 2010 prohibits discrimination on the ground of disability, affirms a right to reasonable access to all places, including the built environment and housing, and provides for the right to accessible and adequate housing. In the national disability policy of Kenya, it is recognized that ownership of land, housing and property is a fundamental human right of persons with disabilities, essential to security, self-reliance and livelihood. Through the policy, it is sought to eliminate barriers to acquiring and owning land, housing and property, such as high costs and societal prejudices against the ownership and inheritance of land by persons with disabilities. In all housing schemes, it is required to reserve at least 5 per cent of accessible houses for persons with disabilities, and accessible design standards are applied. In addition, inclusive financial and credit services targeting persons with disabilities are promoted.

- 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.

At the end, some recommendations are presented on necessary steps and areas that require special attention to ensure that indigenous peoples enjoy the rights recognized in the Declaration and relevant international human rights instruments. The Special Rapporteur provides examples and references for the work developed by the mandate holder to support this aim.

For instance, after the adoption of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the previous Special Rapporteur analysed how indigenous peoples’ rights should be interpreted and implemented in the context of business activities affecting them, both in relation to State duties and companies’ responsibilities, and developed further in-depth work on the issue focused on the activities of extractive industries. The current Special Rapporteur has provided interpretations of standards in relation to economic, social and cultural rights and sustainable development and to investment agreements, as well as analyses of conservation activities and climate change measures.

As a component of the right to non-discrimination, reasonable accommodation is considered an immediate obligation of States.

- Participation is integral to the implementation of the right to housing of persons with disabilities. In article 4 (3) of the Convention, it is stated that, in the implementation of legislation, policy or other decisions, States must closely consult with and actively involve persons with disabilities through their representative organizations. As stated by the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities, participation leads to the promotion of agency and empowerment, ownership, pride and better decisions, since persons with disabilities are best placed to identify their diverse needs. Effective participation, however, must be grounded in human rights and meaningful accountability. Under article 33 of the Convention, all States are required to develop independent institutions to monitor its implementation, including the right to housing, ensuring that persons with disabilities and their representative organizations are involved and participate fully in the monitoring process.

The Court directed the Government to enact a law to protect the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities and to arrange health services and other necessary measures. Local and international organizations have continued to exert pressure on the Government to implement the Court’s order in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In a decision adopted in 2012, the Court ordered the Government to provide a monthly stipend, build shelters and appoint a social welfare worker in each district.

Article XIV (1) of the World Charter for the Right to the City provides for universal realization of the right to housing and emphasizes the need for accessible and suitable locations. In article X of the Global Charter-Agenda for Human Rights in the City, it is recommended that cities adopt regulations to ensure the accessibility of housing for persons with disabilities. Some cities have sought to initiate inclusive zoning policies to prevent restrictions on supportive housing. Others have adopted measures to address affordability, such as housing benefits and/or allowances, grants or loans for required adaptations, lower interest rates on housing loans and reduced housing taxes for families with a family member with a disability.

Finland stated that it considered those currently living in institutions to be homeless and had set a deadline of 2020 to close all institutions, emphasizing the right to live in the community with access to the necessary services and forms of support.

The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- Article 9 should also be read in conjunction with the obligation to progressively realize the right to adequate housing under article 28. As Gerard Quinn observed, “many of these obligations will require resources and extensive systemic change — all subject to the overall obligation of progressive achievement contained in article 4.2 with respect to socioeconomic rights”. The obligations of States under article 9 can be seen as components of the requirement to immediately implement inclusive rights-based strategies for the realization of the right to housing. Both housing strategies and plans for the implementation of accessibility must establish definite time frames, allocate adequate resources, prescribe the duties of the public authorities, including regional and local authorities, and private actors and ensure participation and consultation with those affected. Ensuring that any new housing is developed in accordance with barrier-free design requirements is an immediate obligation of States. States must also adopt, as quickly as possible, legislation and plans to ensure that barriers in existing housing are removed over time.

- The unique fusion of civil, political and economic and social and cultural rights in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has immense potential to breathe new life into the right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities. Five central tenets of the disability human rights paradigm are particularly important in understanding the right to adequate housing in that context.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also emphasizes that reasonable accommodation in housing is often linked to systemic patterns of discrimination and imbalances in power “which result in a society being designed well for some and not for others”. The Supreme Court of Canada warned that reasonable accommodation claims should not be allowed to shield systemic discrimination from scrutiny or leave in place imbalances in power that have led to the neglect of the needs or perspectives of marginalized groups in the design of policies. It is important to ask, in each individual case, not only what is required by the individual person with a disability to ensure equality, but also why the housing system created the need for individual accommodation in the first place. Requests for modifications of buildings or housing policies are usually only made because those requirements were not adequately considered when buildings or policies were designed in the first place. Persons with disabilities must be empowered to challenge housing, planning and zoning, social protection and justice systems that fail to meet their needs and thus deny them access to adequate housing.

Implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the work of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples 2017, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- It must be mentioned that the implementation of the Declaration in Asia and Africa, and the work of the mandate holder to promote it, face particular obstacles due to denial by some States of the existence of indigenous peoples within their borders, on the grounds for example that all the population is indigenous to the country. The mandate holder has repeatedly referred to this issue stating that, despite the different terminology employed in many areas, the situation and human rights issues of certain peoples in those regions is a matter of concern for the mandate holder and the provisions of the Declaration apply to them. These populations are distinct peoples, with specific cultures and relation to certain lands and territories, and have been subject to marginalization. The problems they suffer, related to their group identity, are similar to those of peoples all over the world that identify as indigenous, and are the types of problems that the Declaration seeks to resolve as a remedial instrument. The work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, particularly its Working Group on indigenous populations/communities, has been instrumental in advancing a positive dialogue on the recognition of indigenous peoples in the African region.

Accessible housing constructed on the basis of “universal” barrier-free design, for example, must respect diverse cultural identities.

- Security of tenure is a cornerstone of the right to housing. Persons with disabilities are less likely to enjoy security of tenure and often experience catastrophic results owing to displacement and forced eviction. They often lose not only their physical home but also a network of support and contacts, without which they may not survive.

- Paragraph text
- The standard of reasonableness to assess States’ compliance with the obligation to take measures to realize the right to adequate housing for persons with disabilities runs parallel to the similar standard of reasonableness that is applied in the context of the accommodation of the individual needs of persons with disabilities. The former relies on a standard of maximum of available resources to assess programmatic measures to address the systemic needs of persons with disabilities, while the latter relies on a standard of undue or disproportionate burden in relation to the specific measures required in individual cases. In many cases, however, there is no clear divide between individual needs and needs shared with others in the positive measures taken by Governments to ensure access to accessible housing. As Janet E. Lord and Rebecca Brown note, “the obligation to reasonably accommodate the unique needs of persons with disabilities merges with the obligation under the [International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights] and under the economic, social and cultural rights provisions in the [Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities], to apply the maximum of available resources to realizing the substantive rights in question”.

- Recognition of people of African descent as a distinct group is essential to increasing their visibility and thus to the full realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms. People of African descent must be recognized among others in national constitutions and legislation, through education, awareness-raising measures and the respect of their cultural rights. Self-recognition is also critical for people of African descent. In order to attain full recognition, data collection is crucial so as to confirm the presence, activities and overall situation of people of African descent.

To that end, it recommends the development of voluntary, consensual and participatory strategies in the process of collecting, designing and using information. The information should take into account economic and social indicators, including, where appropriate, health and health status, infant and maternal mortality, life expectancy, literacy, education, employment, housing, land ownership, mental and physical health care, water, sanitation, energy and communications services, poverty and average disposable income in order to elaborate social and economic development policies with a view to closing the existing gaps in social and economic conditions;

- Special data-processing methods are necessary for protecting people's identity, in particular procedures that ensure anonymity and guarantee that data could not be traced back to individuals. There is a difference between personal data, which are subject to special protection, and processing impersonal statistical data, which is permitted for historical, statistical or scientific purposes. In that regard, efforts should be made to neutralize the risks inherent in identifying individuals and examine how the data could be dissociated from the identification of individuals. Relevant practice in the field of medicine could be an important guide.

Preliminary survey on the root causes of attacks and discrimination against persons with albinism 2016, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- [The Independent Expert makes the following recommendations to States affected by attacks against persons with albinism:] [Legal action] Consider regulating the practice of traditional medicine where ambiguity exists, in practice, between witchcraft on the one hand and traditional, herbal or alternative medicine on the other. Such regulation might include an effective monitoring mechanism that reaches rural, remote and border areas, particularly where attacks against persons with albinism have been reported;

Witchcraft and the human rights of persons with albinism 2017, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- Witchcraft practice, in particular the use of body parts of persons with albinism for muti or juju, is undeniably one of the main root causes of attacks against persons with albinism. However, owing to challenges in conceptualizing "witchcraft" using objective elements, attempts at establishing clear legal boundaries around such practices - including to deter related harmful practices - have been elusive. One key exception is witchcraft accusations, an aspect of witchcraft practice that can be, and has been, legally captured with objective elements because there is no need to define "witchcraft" itself to achieve the purpose of preventing accusations and related violence.

Disability-inclusive policies 2016, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- Persons with disabilities are disproportionately affected by inequalities, with significant consequences for individuals, families, communities and societies in general. In order to overcome those inequalities, States must ensure that their national policies and programmes address the needs of persons with disabilities and promote the active participation of their representative organizations in their design, implementation and evaluation. For that purpose, it is necessary to adopt disability-inclusive development strategies that incorporate non-discrimination, accessibility and support measures for persons with disabilities. The United Nations and international cooperation partners should play a crucial role in supporting national efforts for the implementation of disability-inclusive policies, including data collection and monitoring.

Access to rights-based support for persons with disabilities 2017, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- Guaranteeing access to support for persons with disabilities is not only a human rights obligation for States, but also an essential condition to ensure that no one is left behind in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Even if we advance in the areas of accessibility and non-discrimination, persons with disabilities will always need to have access to support. In fact, without appropriate support to carry out daily activities and participate in society, many persons with disabilities will not be able to exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms, and will remain at risk of abuse and institutionalization. Support measures are vital to enable persons with disabilities to benefit from all policies and programmes and to live fully in the community on an equal basis with others. States should guarantee the full and equal enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons with disabilities in the provision of support.

Eliminating discrimination against women in the area of health and safety, with a focus on the instrumentalization of women's bodies 2016, para. 100
- Paragraph text
- Women's access to health services in many countries is not autonomous, affordable and effective, elements which are essential for States to respect, protect and fulfil women's and girls' rights to life, health, privacy, equality and human dignity. A major barrier is lack of affordability as a result of exclusion from insurance for treatments specifically needed by women and girls or exclusion of groups of women such as migrants. Non-affordability severely discriminates against women living in poverty. Barriers also include restrictive legislative requirements, biased and stigmatized provision of services and conscientious objection to providing services.

The Working Group found manifestations in all regions of instrumentalization, taboos regarding menstruation and breastfeeding and stereotypes which result in harmful practices such as female genital mutilation or which have a negative impact on women's body image, leading to their seeking invasive cosmetic procedures.

Particular attention should be devoted to ensuring that a multiplicity of learning sites for delivery of technical and vocational education and training programmes in a "virtual learning environment" conform to quality standards, and are subjected to stringent control by public authorities, with sanctions in case of abusive practices.

As such, governments must make every effort to ensure such institutions fully comply with the Paris Principles, and in particular be made, and be seen to be made, independent from any government authority. They should also be empowered to initiate investigations into violations on their own initiative to allow them to pursue serious allegations raised in the media or elsewhere which are not being brought by the victims themselves. Appointments to courts and quasi-judicial mechanisms should be protected by legislation to protect against arbitrary government interference, or politically motivated dismissals.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur would like to state that the realization of the right to basic education of quality for all, including skills development, deserves a central place in the post-2015 development agenda. From that perspective, national assessments of the educational attainments of students would need to evolve with a future-oriented perspective, in order to meet the key challenges of achieving such universal goals for education as may be agreed to in future development agendas. Education systems, including national assessments, will need to be kept abreast of such developments, bearing in mind the resolve of the international community in reaffirming its commitments to the right to education and to "full access to quality education at all levels" as an "essential condition for achieving sustainable development".

- Paragraph text
- Regarding the development of novel assessment mechanisms for skills development, the Special Rapporteur recommends that: While recognizing the importance of national assessment mechanisms for TVET programmes, Governments should develop new and unique assessment mechanisms within a framework of institutionalized collaboration with industry for assessing competencies and skills in terms of technical qualifications that are relevant to a country's development priorities. TVET programmes, particularly in early secondary levels, must be made complementary to the standard education curriculum and not as a separate stream. The aptitude of students should be central to those new assessment systems, offering them the possibility of pathways to higher education.

Even when Governments collaborate with non-State providers in education through public-private partnerships, the State remains both the guarantor and regulator of the right to education, on account of its obligation to respect, protect, promote and realize the right to education. That education is provided through public-private partnerships does not change the nature of the right to education and the related obligations.

Assessment of the educational attainment of students 2014, para. 86
- Paragraph text
- Regarding the adoption of a human rights-based framework, the Special Rapporteur recommends that: States move towards a more holistic approach in assessing student attainments which goes beyond reading, writing and arithmetic and which incorporates essential human rights objectives. The four pillars of the Delors Report - learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and learning to live together - should become an integral part of any assessment of the educational attainments of students. Moreover, national assessment mechanisms must be in compliance with a country's international human rights obligations;

Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 122
- Paragraph text
- Public authorities should ensure that the use of digital technologies is considered as a means of education, not as a substitute for face- to-face education. They should recognize that human contact in education is essential to the teaching and learning process. Public authorities should also take the measures necessary to build the capacity of teachers to use digital technologies while retaining freedom in their pedagogic approaches. Teachers must have the competence and be free to adapt digital technologies to local contexts, and the authority to rearrange online teaching materials and methodologies to best serve the country's education requirements.

Human rights criteria for making contract farming and other business models inclusive of small-scale farmers 2011, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- Governments should ensure that the degree of competition among traders is sufficient to prevent farmers from being locked into unequal relationships with a particular trader in the absence of alternative buyers for a given crop. In particular, Governments should ensure that the expansion of contract farming does not result in the dismantling of public support schemes and the privatization of agricultural extension services, which would narrow the range of options available to small-scale farmers and increase the asymmetry of power between unorganized small-scale farmers and private actors operating on a national, regional or global scale.

The right to an adequate diet: the agriculture-food-health nexus 2012, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- Combating the different faces of malnutrition requires adopting a life-course approach guaranteeing the right to adequate diets for all, and reforming agricultural and food policies, including taxation, in order to reshape food systems for the promotion of sustainable diets. Strong political will, a sustained effort across a number of years, and collaboration across different sectors, including agriculture, finance, health, education and trade, are necessary for such a transition. In line with these conclusions, the Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations.

- Paragraph text
- The year 2014 is one of reflection for global food policymakers as they take stock of the progress made following the adoption of the Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security a decade ago. The Guidelines have provided a concrete tool with which to evaluate whether the principles set forth in human rights instruments and hortatory principles are having a practical impact on people's lives, especially the most vulnerable. The Special Rapporteur intends to work closely with FAO, the Committee on World Food Security and other relevant stakeholders to evaluate progress made to date, by taking into consideration examples of good practice as a means of promoting the Guidelines.

Impact of climate change on the right to food 2015, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- The imperative to feed the world in a time of climate change resonates strongly with food policymakers and has resulted in a push for large-scale agricultural models to respond to the future demand for food. However, it is has been proven that more food production does not necessarily result in fewer people suffering from hunger and malnutrition. The world has long produced enough food, sufficient not only to meet the caloric requirements of the existing global population of over 7 billion, but also to meet the needs of a population expected to reach 9 billion in 2050. Hunger and malnutrition are a function of economic and social problems, not production. Moreover, not all of the calories produced go to feed humans: one third are used to feed animals, nearly 5 per cent are used to produce biofuels and as much as one third are wasted all along the food chain.

Right to food and nutrition 2016, para. 94
- Paragraph text
- The United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition, proclaimed in April 2016, could be an effective vehicle to strengthen implementation of existing nutrition commitments. However, the United Nations and the international community need to address existing flaws within the global governance system, especially the weakness of implementation and accountability. The General Assembly has called upon the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to lead the implementation of the Decade, recommending that multi-stakeholder platforms such as the Committee on World Food Security and the Standing Committee on Nutrition be entrusted with coordinating oversight. Recognizing legitimate concerns about the influence of private interests on nutrition policymaking, a participatory process is particularly important. This makes it imperative to protect open spaces to ensure that policy formulation is consistent with the public good, which may require the empowerment of civil society.

The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- International civil society groups should mobilize effectively and in coalition with groups in other sectors to advocate and promote the Social Protection Floor Initiative. While the Center for Economic and Social Rights joined with a range of other groups, including Amnesty International, to call for a commitment to social protection floors in the sustainable development goals, the great majority of international human rights groups have said little and done less on the issue. It is essential to acknowledge that extreme poverty, which continues to afflict hundreds of millions of people, is a negation of all human rights. International civil society groups in the human rights field fight valiantly to eliminate torture, to reduce and expose extrajudicial executions, to reduce violence against women, to outlaw discrimination and the oppression of minorities and so on, but if the elimination of extreme poverty is not a central part of the collective human rights vision, it is a highly selective battle that is being fought.

The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- The role of the World Bank in relation to the Social Protection Floor Initiative is crucial. Based on policies pursued to date, it is the single actor most likely to undermine and frustrate the overall Initiative. Unless there is a change of heart on its part, the development community will continue to be pushed to focus on ill-defined social safety nets aimed at a limited number of the extreme poor and as a matter of bureaucratically defined and designed welfare policy, rather than as a matter of human rights. It is therefore indispensable that the human rights community should shine a spotlight on the policies and practices of the Bank in this area and the Human Rights Council should call upon it to embrace the Initiative in all its dimensions.

Integrating a gender perspective in the right to food 2016, para. 89
- Paragraph text
- Closing the gender gap in agriculture requires development of gender sensitive policies. Ensuring land rights and reinforcing the rights of girls and women to education, social protection and increasing women's participation in decision making in a meaningful manner is critical for enhancing women's vital role in advancing agricultural development and food security. Increasing women's access to and control over assets has been shown to have positive effects on important human development outcomes including household food security, child nutrition, education, and women's own wellbeing and status within the home and community. Moreover, providing women with essential tools and resources does not require a major investment of resources but can have a huge impact on the formal economy. Respecting, protecting and fulfilling women's rights will inevitably fix broader problems in food systems in general and can help communities achieve improved development outcomes.

Key trends and challenges to the right of all individuals to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds through the Internet 2011, para. 84

- Enabling individuals to effectively use the content made available via the Internet requires a number of elements, including the skills to use the technology. The Special Rapporteur thus recommends that States include Internet literacy skills in school curricula and support similar learning modules outside of schools. In addition to basic skills training, modules should clarify the benefits of accessing information online and of responsibly contributing information. Training can also help individuals learn how to protect themselves against harmful content, such as the potential consequences of revealing private information on the Internet, as well as against undue restrictions by States or corporations through the use of encryption or circumvention technology.

Such laws are often justified as being necessary to protect individuals' reputation, national security or to counter terrorism. However, in practice, they are frequently used to censor content that the Government and other powerful entities do not like or agree with.

The Special Rapporteur thus recommends intermediaries to: only implement restrictions to these rights after judicial intervention; be transparent to the user involved about measures taken, and, where applicable, to the wider public; provide, if possible, forewarning to users before the implementation of restrictive measures; and minimize the impact of restrictions strictly to the content involved. Finally, there must be effective remedies for affected users, including the possibility of appeal through the procedures provided by the intermediary and by a competent judicial authority.

The right to access information 2013, para. 93
- Paragraph text
- Given that the enjoyment of human rights also implies responsibilities, and is based on the principles of universality, equality and interdependence, there is a shared responsibility in denouncing human rights violations whenever they occur. Such responsibility is of greater importance in the case of public officials. Therefore, the disclosure in good faith of relevant information relating to human rights violations should be accorded protection from liability. On the other hand, the silence of State officials on violations that they witness can be interpreted as complicity. Transitions to peace and democracy based on silence over past crimes, atrocities or impunity are not sustainable.

The right of the child to freedom of expression 2014, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- Children may not have the same maturity as adults, but childhood is an evolving process during which maturity is gained gradually. The ability to develop opinions, as well as to express them clearly, stems from a learning process that begins at the earliest stages of our lives and that needs appropriate respect and encouragement to develop completely. If neglecting the duty to protect children from harm brings serious risks, so too does denying them space to develop their minds, critical thinking and opinions. Depriving children of information on certain matters and prohibiting their participation in public debate can only intensify their isolation and political alienation. Ensuring that children are able to exercise their right to be heard is not only an obligation: it is crucial to enhancing the effectiveness of protective measures.

Freedom of expression, States and the private sector in the digital age 2016, para. 91

It is critical that such organizations provide meaningful public access to policies, standards, reports and other information concerning Internet governance created or generated by the organization and/or its membership, including through facilitating access to free online resources and public education initiatives. More generally, the multi-stakeholder process for Internet governance has been an important driver for policies supportive of freedom of expression. With that in mind, international organizations should ensure meaningful civil society participation in policymaking and other standard-setting processes, including through increasing the presence of technical experts sensitive to human rights concerns.

States should especially avoid imposing obstacles, such as accreditation procedures or penalties through defamation lawsuits or intermediary liability, that undermine independent media. At the same time, those with the means - such as private donors and foundations - should make a special effort to support independent media and to foster strong scrutiny of media conglomerations that squeeze out the less well-financed outlets;

States need to combat xenophobia and discrimination as a matter of urgency and ensure that no legislative or administrative acts reinforce discrimination against migrants with regard to their access to social or private housing. Moreover, States should take effective measures to ensure that housing agencies and private landlords refrain from engaging in discriminatory practices.

The right to life and the right to adequate housing: the indivisibility and interdependence between these rights 2016, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- The narrowing of the right to life to a negative rights framework has deprived millions of already disadvantaged individuals of the full protection of this core right. In many domestic contexts, the right to housing may not be enshrined in law and cannot be claimed directly, whereas the right to life appears in most constitutions. In this context, a narrow interpretation of the right to life may prevent someone who is homeless or suffering severe housing inadequacy from making any human rights claim whatsoever. On the other hand, where the right to adequate housing is explicitly protected as a self-standing constitutional right, it is more effectively enforced by courts when connected to the right to life. Making this connection allows courts to better assess whether adequate resources have been allocated and reasonable measures taken in accordance with core human rights values.

The right to life and the right to adequate housing: the indivisibility and interdependence between these rights 2016, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- The starting point for understanding the scope of the right to life should be what rights holders are entitled to, not the cause of the deprivation. Homelessness and grossly inadequate housing may be the result of actions leading to eviction and deportation, but equally may result from inaction - a failure to address long-term systemic patterns of social exclusion and deprivation. Nevertheless, the deprivation experienced is essentially the same: preventable illnesses, a shortened lifespan and deprivation of dignity and security.

- Paragraph text
- When the Special Rapporteur took up his functions in 2014, he knew that the expectations regarding his mandate were at least as great as the threats to the individuals who defend human rights and freedoms. He sought to open new doors and to push the limits of the mandate. Having benefited from a vast number of meetings and activities conducted over the past three years, he would like to continue and intensify these initiatives and give them time to bear fruit. The activities covered in this report therefore represent a work in progress. The Special Rapporteur is particularly keen to strengthen initiatives to improve the implementation of recommendations and resolutions on the protection of defenders. To that end, he would like to develop tools to measure their implementation and to focus on strengthening the capacities of national actors to act on recommendations and resolutions and make them a reality on the ground.

Once again, if companies wish to exercise due diligence, they must ensure that the consultations they hold are based on the criteria laid down in international rules, especially when the States in which they operate provide inadequate legal regulations, or none at all.

- [Concerning the reform of investment and free trade practices, the Special Rapporteur recommends that:] In accordance with the guiding principles on human rights impact assessments of all trade and investment agreements developed by the Special Rapporteur on the right to food, States undertake robust human rights impact assessments prior to signing all such treaties. Human rights assessments should routinely include specific consideration of the impact on the collective and individual rights of indigenous peoples developed through direct consultation with indigenous communities;

Rights of indigenous peoples on the impact of international investment and free trade on the human rights of indigenous peoples 2015, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- It is clear that international investment and free trade agreements have significant potential to contribute to violations of the rights of indigenous peoples. The threat posed by current regimes lies both in their direct impact on indigenous peoples rights and their contribution to systemic injustices and imbalances, which tend to disproportionally impact indigenous peoples as some of the most globally marginalized. For that reason the Special Rapporteur intends to dedicate ongoing attention to the issue during the fulfilment of the mandate.

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- Despite the severity and regularity of violations of the rights of indigenous women, the attention of much of the United Nations human rights and development policy architecture has been limited. Gaps and weaknesses in analysis include a lack of geographical balance, limited inclusion of collective rights, little exploration of intersectionality in relation to the vulnerability of indigenous women and a lack of exploration of the gender implications to rights issues affecting indigenous communities. There are, however, promising signs that the gap in monitoring indigenous women's rights is closing.

- The overall picture of internal displacement globally in 2016 is alarming, with unprecedented numbers of internally displaced persons, ongoing and protracted situations in which progress towards durable solutions has stalled and massive new displacement crises that threaten to further deteriorate. The picture is in fact more dramatic than that presented by existing statistics, since these do not include causes of displacement, such as development projects and business activities and generalized and criminal violence. The situation constitutes a global crisis requiring bold, innovative and concerted action at all levels, from the local to the international levels, as well as new and enhanced partnerships and collaborations.

Alternative measures may include registration requirements; reporting or monitoring conditions; the deposit of a financial guarantee; or an obligation to stay at a designated address, an open centre or other special accommodation. Reporting requirements, where used, should not be unduly onerous, invasive or difficult to comply with. Bail, bond and surety should be made available to irregular migrants under conditions that are reasonable and realistic. The use of open centres, directed residence or special accommodation should be developed, with open centres preferred over more restrictive alternatives.

Climate change and migration 2012, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur recognizes that while no place will be protected from the impacts of climate change, already fragile environments are most vulnerable, including in particular, megadeltas, small island developing States, low-lying coastal zones, arid areas, polar regions, and places affected by sudden and extreme natural disasters. Particular groups living in these high-risk areas may thus be more affected than others, as will societies that are highly dependent on the environment for their subsistence needs. However, vulnerabilities may be exacerbated by political and social factors, with specific groups such as women, children, minority groups and indigenous peoples, often particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Global migration governance 2013, para. 127
- Paragraph text
- All States should establish human rights-based, coherent and comprehensive national migration policies. These policies should address the "pull" factors for irregular migration, namely the unrecognized need for migrant labour in destination States, including for low-skilled workers, and the corresponding need to open up a greater number of regular migration channels, which would lead to fewer instances of irregular migration, less smuggling of migrants, less exploitation of irregular migrants and less loss of life. In this respect, States must ensure that "irregular employers" are sanctioned, labour exploitation is punished and migrants, including those in an irregular situation, have access to national courts and tribunals, which should effectively apply the international human rights treaties in providing appropriate redress. States should implement a "firewall" between immigration enforcement and public services and improve data collection and indicators in all areas relevant to migration in order to make informed policy decisions.

- There is thus a need to enhance the human rights dimension of global migration governance, including in terms of accountability, and to bring it back to the United Nations, including by establishing a United Nations-based institutional framework on migration. There has been considerable movement and interest shown over the past decade in terms of the two High-level Dialogues on International Migration and Development, the creation of the Global Forum on Migration and Development and the Global Migration Group and recent growth in IOM membership, as well as the development of regional initiatives, both through regional organizations and regional consultative processes. Thus, there seems to be some recognition of the need for more migration governance.

The role and activities of national institutional mechanisms in promoting and protecting minority rights 2012, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- Institutional attention to minority issues is essential to changing the exclusionary practices and discriminatory perceptions about minority groups in wider society that may be institutionalized. Activities should therefore be focused not solely on minorities, but rather on all sectors of society. Coordinated institutional approaches should engage minorities, majority communities, and civil society as key stakeholders. Institutional measures should serve to mainstream minority issues within all relevant institutions and promote diversity and equality in all areas of public life.

The role and activities of national institutional mechanisms in promoting and protecting minority rights 2012, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- When they have easy access to institutions providing channels of complaint and remedy, including in their own languages, minorities are more likely to engage such bodies, and bring complaints of discrimination, which too often go unreported and unchallenged. Institutional attention to minority issues conveys a positive message to minorities, namely, that government recognizes their issues and concerns, and is committed to finding solutions to challenges involving minorities; and it also helps to instil confidence within communities. This may be particularly important in times of political and social upheaval, or administrative or regime change, or following conflict involving or impacting upon minorities.

The role and activities of national institutional mechanisms in promoting and protecting minority rights 2012, para. 82

- The twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration provides an opportunity for States to consider practical measures for enhancing its implementation. Necessary efforts towards achieving positive and systematic change so as to ensure a culture and practice of minority rights and equality require political commitment and proactive approaches that are often lacking. While non-discrimination measures are essential, minority rights frequently require States to implement positive measures and approaches, as articulated in the Declaration, to ensure equality.

Rights of linguistic minorities 2013, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- While resources available to a State are a factor, Governments must nevertheless fulfil their obligations to the best of their ability for all linguistic minorities. Numerous cost-effective methods are available to fulfil language rights, including translation of key information, web-based resources targeted at minorities, and policies of promoting training of minorities and their recruitment at national and local levels in public institutions. The use of minority mediators is a positive practice utilized by some States to improve communication with minorities. It may also be appropriate to encourage and facilitate cross-border cooperation, for example where a linguistic minority has a neighbouring or kin State with a shared language tradition.

Rights of linguistic minorities 2013, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- The challenges experienced by linguistic minorities are diverse and differ significantly according to their specific circumstances and legal and policy conditions in their countries of residence. Some linguistic minorities are well integrated, able to use their languages in public and private freely and find an accommodation of their language rights and needs in administration, education and service provision. For others, lack of official recognition or language policy and programmes for linguistic minorities results in an environment in which there is little or no provision made for minority languages. In some countries linguistic minorities may live mainly in rural or remote regions where their community interactions are always in minority languages but their children’s education is only in the national or official State language.

Rights of linguistic minorities 2013, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- The Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities and other international standards clearly establish the rights of linguistic minorities and the duties upon States. While they do not require that a State provide all activities and services in every language present within the State, in its assessment of how to fulfil its obligations, each State must take into account numerous factors relevant to linguistic minorities, including the number of language users and their distribution within the country. Each State can decide on approaches to how it implements the Declaration in practice, and it is reasonable to consider that greater attention and resources will be dedicated to certain traditionally present, commonly spoken, or geographically concentrated languages, for example, than are given to relatively newly established languages with few or dispersed users.

Rights of linguistic minorities 2013, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- Nevertheless, a reasonable degree of accommodation of smaller and lesser-used languages should be provided. Modalities to support small or dispersed linguistic communities must be considered and can include support for informal language classes within or outside the public education structures and ensuring consultation with cultural associations representing linguistic minorities to assess and respond to specific needs. Factors such as voluntary and forced migration, conflict, climate change, and the opening of borders, for example across the Europe Union member States, are creating ever more diverse ethnic and linguistic societies in which language rights and needs must be taken into account.

Rights of linguistic minorities 2013, para. 79
- Paragraph text
- In many cases a strong community desire exists to maintain minority languages as a core and indispensable element of culture and identity. Sometimes this is viewed by Governments as divisive and counter to State ideologies and policies to promote national identity, national unity, integration and territorial integrity. In States in which historical, political and geographical factors have created highly diverse communities, disputes over territories and borders and tensions between different national, ethnic, religious and linguistic groups may exist. Irrespective of such factors States are obligated to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of linguistic minorities, and restrictions must be in the public interest and proportional to the aims sought.

Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 102
- Paragraph text
- It is essential to recognize how, in the longer term, hate speech and incitement can endanger social cohesion and create or deepen intercommunal divides and tensions. Action to address hate speech and hate crime must engage majority communities, including politicians, intellectuals, celebrities and ordinary people concerned about discrimination and hatred in their societies, to join marginalized and disadvantaged minorities in demanding human rights, equality and human dignity for all. Such coordinated action must include legislative steps and swift and efficient social responses. If hate incidents are not tackled quickly and effectively, targeted groups may experience permanent damage to their self-esteem and sense of belonging within their societies, increasing their marginalization. Majority communities may gradually become desensitized to the hostility in their societies targeted against minority groups.

Use by the police of their power to conduct identity checks or to stop and search individuals should be based on the requirement of individualized suspicion; and the use of broader preventive powers should be strictly circumscribed. Police should be required to record the reason for stopping, questioning or searching any person and to provide the person with a copy of the record.

- The Special Rapporteur takes note of efforts to fight anti-Roma discrimination and address Roma marginalization and disadvantage. However, while positive developments and good practices have been identified, her global study has revealed the deep-rooted problems of racism and extreme marginalization experienced by Roma worldwide, and has highlighted the ongoing invisibility of many of these communities' struggles. Her report has also exposed the underlying structural discrimination that Roma face, including the interrelation between anti-Gypsyism and the socioeconomic marginalization and political exclusion that Roma experience.

Minorities in situations of humanitarian crises 2016, para. 98
- Paragraph text
- The current global humanitarian context is alarming. Ongoing and protracted conflicts are leading to massive displacement crises: there are unprecedented numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons, and inter-ethnic and interracial tensions and conflict are erupting in nearly every region of the world. Many conflicts threaten to further deteriorate, and new conflicts are emerging. These conflicts are often rooted in power struggles, identity politics, competition for resources, rising income disparities and socioeconomic inequalities, and increasing polarization of societies, making national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities particularly vulnerable; indeed many of the persons who flee their countries for fear of persecution are members of minority groups targeted precisely because of their minority identity. Furthermore, with the impact of climate change, disasters are becoming all too frequent and widespread, further affecting minorities.

Data collection programmes should allow for diverse forms of self-identification and comply with international standards regarding the right to privacy. Furthermore, national authorities should collect and share data on all causes of displacement in their country. Equality and anti discrimination laws and legal protection of minorities, and other potentially vulnerable groups should be in place and include provisions relating to the prohibition of unlawful displacement.

The importance of social protection measures in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2010, para. 100
- Paragraph text
- The review process is also an important opportunity to strengthen the international environment supporting gender equality in a broad sense and women's own voice and agency. Improvements in gender equality achieved through social protection and other, more comprehensive measures are strongly linked to the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger (Millennium Development Goal 1). Calls for the achievement of Millennium Development Goals must be complemented by a renewed commitment to the existing gender-related framework within human rights law, such as the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women. Over the next five years, in order to ensure compliance with the Goals as well as with the commitments after 2015, gender-specific issues should be made much more visible.

To be effective in the promotion of an adequate standard of living, social pensions can only be one component of a comprehensive social protection strategy that addresses the impact of extreme poverty throughout one person's life cycle and includes measures to ensure older persons access to adequate social services, in particular access to health care.

Penalization of people living in poverty 2011, para. 79
- Paragraph text
- Public services and social benefits play an integral role in the lives of persons living in poverty, offering important support and assistance, particularly during times of economic and social hardship. While often these benefits are not sufficient to cover the needs of the beneficiaries and their families, they do provide an important form of support to which they are entitled, and without which they would not survive. States must refrain from imposing requirements and conditionalities that stigmatize, stereotype and penalize beneficiaries. Such measures only undermine the essential support that social benefits provide and create further obstacles for persons living in poverty.

- A key priority for many States in responding to the crises is the reduction of unemployment, which has increased dramatically over the past few years, especially among the poorest and most vulnerable groups. Employment creation is a vital means of providing income security, generating economic growth, restoring social cohesion, preventing social and political instability and enabling individuals to achieve a number of economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to work, which is essential for realizing other human rights and forms an inseparable and inherent part of human dignity.

Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- Fiscal and macroeconomic policies are no exception. In order to better uphold the human rights of women caregivers living in poverty, States should, inter alia, design tax systems to proactively promote an equal sharing of both paid and unpaid work between women and men, and implement food and fuel price stabilization policies. Especially given the effects of unpaid care on productivity and the labour force, States should analyse and design macroeconomic policy taking into account unpaid care. Expenditure cuts must not be made in ways that add to the amount of unpaid work that women have to do in families and communities. Similarly, employment creation programmes must not ignore the reality of unpaid care work, as the long-term effects of precarious work, and care deficits to children, ill or elderly persons may far outweigh the short-term gains in income for individuals or countries.

The World Bank and human rights 2015, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- Diverse civil society actors also needs to think through in a more systematic and nuanced way what exactly they would like to see from a human rights initiative. In the view of the Special Rapporteur, it is debatable whether some of the roles that the Bank has been called upon to undertake in the past are appropriate. The Bank cannot be expected to carry the burden of the expectations of every human rights demand that might be made in a given situation. There are limits to what can reasonably be expected of it and there are legitimate questions related to its mandate and the respective roles that should be played by different actors. Placing unreasonable demands on the Bank merely reinforces the fears of those who are currently resisting change in that area.

Marginality of economic and social rights 2016, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- In other words, even when it appears to be marginal and best ignored, the legal framework of recognition or non-recognition will, in practice, wield significant influence in terms of how economic and social rights are perceived and what advocacy opportunities are closed down or opened up. The legal framework can, at least partially, empower or disempower and legitimize or delegitimize those who advocate respect for economic and social rights. Thus, even those who argue that the battle over economic and social rights will inevitably be won or lost in the political arena would be well advised not to neglect the recognition, institutionalization and accountability dimensions. This is not for a moment to suggest that the many other dimensions of economic and social rights-related advocacy are unimportant. The argument is that most, if not all, of them will be less effective if the RIA framework is not in place as a matter of State policy.
