UN Experts: Israel Commits ‘Domicide’
UN experts say Israel should be held accountable for acts of ‘domicide’
GENEVA—The international community must take action to stop systematic
The latest report from HLRN’s Violation Database (VDB),
In Pursuit of Climate Justice, takes a hard look at violations of adequate
housing land and other habitat-related human rights in the context of
environmental hazards and climate change. Based on VDB entries of cases spanning
more than a century, each instance explores the root causes and consequences of
loss, cost and damage resulting from human activity.
Taking a human rights approach, this report seeks to identify the scope of
impacts and the public, private and/or corporate responsibility for the remedies
and reparation to which victims and affected persons are entitled. The
collection of cases gives rise to a pattern of 13 causes/contexts for monitors,
duty bearers and human rights defenders to consider.
