Paragraph
Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 13
- Paragraph text
- Notwithstanding that the principle of non-discrimination is well established in international human rights law, some misconceptions related to its applicability to non-nationals impede the universal implementation of the rights to health and adequate housing. Consequently, the enjoyment of these rights by non-nationals is often dictated by the host State's laws, policies and practical concerns.

Paragraph
Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- A goal on equality should be broad, not only focusing on income disparities, but also identifying key dimensions of economic and social inequality, including in terms of participation and access to essential services such as health, education and social protection. This should be framed with reference to the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of all. In addition, targets and indicators relating to employment and fiscal or redistributive policies must be included under this goal and structural determinants of inequality should also be addressed.
