From the very first negotiations of the International Covenant on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights half a century ago to the
present day, socio-economic rights have often been regarded as less
enforceable than civil and political rights. The right to adequate
housing, even though protecting one of the most basic needs of
human beings, has not escaped this classification. Despite its
strong foundations in international, regional and domestic
legislation, many people are still deprived of one or more of the
different key elements that comprise adequate housing. How, then,
can international human rights theory and case law be developed
into effective vehicles at the domestic level? Rather than focusing
merely on possibilities for individualized relief through the court
system, The Right to Housing in Law and Society looks into more
effective socio-economic rights realization by addressing both
conceptual and practical stumbling blocks that hinder a more
structural progress at the national level. The Flemish and Belgian
housing legislation and policy are used to highlight the problems
and illustrate the pathways here presented. While first and
foremost legal in its approach, the book also offers a more
sociological perspective on the functioning of the right to housing
in practice. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic
and will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers and
students in the fields of international socio-economic rights law
and human rights law more generally.
