Evictions and the Right to Housing

Resource Type

Book

Description

"The right to housing is a basic human right. This was reaffirmed in June 1996 when governments from around the world gathered in Istanbul, Turkey, for Habitat II --- the second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements. Yet, in all corners of the globe, people are homeless and continue to be forcibly, and sometimes violently, removed from their dwellings. Despite the good intentions of national governments, the right to housing and guarantees against forced eviction are not yet reality.With a concluding chapter that draws together the lessons from these various locales, Evictions and the Right to Housing examines both the political and economic forces driving evictions and is a new and important reference in the struggle for the right to housing for all."--Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
