| UNHRP Working Paper No. 1: "Monitoring housing rights: Developing a set of indicators to monitor the full and progressive realisation of the human right to adequate housing" |
| Abstract: This background paper for the 2003 expert group meeting on housing rights monitoring presents a framework for the development of a set of housing rights indicators. A set of 6 housing rights elements and 17 housing rights indicators is proposed in the report. Once a final set of indicators has been agreed upon, these indicators will form the foundation for the establishment of a global system for monitoring the full and progressive realisation of the human right to adequate housing, as provided for in international instruments. |
