The Tribunal is a joint tool for organizations of inhabitants and all stakeholders that defend the right to housing and to land. It aims to reinforce the recognition, propositions and fights against violations of those rights at local, national and international levels. It also aims to put the spotlight on threats and violence of all kind committed against the defenders of those rights.
In this perspective, a Jury, made of representatives of civil society, international organizations and academics, involved in the defense and respect of housing rights, will evaluate the claims in light of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and all international legal instruments related to the enforcement of the right to housing and land security.
Working method
This Call is disseminated worldwide in order to identify cases of evictions through a webform. You are all kindly invited to fill the webform before September 30 2013.
The secretariat of the Tribunal will coordinate the preliminary phase of investigation by selecting the most significant cases in terms of severity, number of people affected, as well as representation of themes and continents.
At the 18 October 2013 Session, the Tribunal will publicly examine the presented cases and will issue a judgment and make recommendations to the various officials. The Tribunal will then issue formal recommendations to economic and institutional actors responsible for the evictions, and to civic organizations helping them enforce their demands by the authorities.
To submit a case of evictions, go to the International Tribunal on Evictions website before September 30 2013
