The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 44
- Original document
- Paragraph text
- Article 2 (1) of the Convention mirrors the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in its provision that each State party shall undertake to take measures to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the rights enshrined in those instruments. 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.
