Taking advantage of the organization of the World Urban Forum VI in Naples, Italy, the Special Rapporteur is organizing an informal consultation on security of tenure immediately after the closing session of the World Urban Forum, on Thursday 6 September.
Generally, it is hoped that the consultation could discuss existing guidance on land/housing tenure and assess its adequacy from a right to housing perspective; ‘unpack’ the concept of security of tenure and identify its key elements; discuss gaps in the current legal framework and in policies and practices (related to urban development for instance) when it comes to ensuring tenure for those most disadvantaged, such as those living in informal settlements.
You can also send suggestions on this agenda to the e-mail: tenureproject@ohchr.org
