A/69/274 Report of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context Summary The present report of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context, is submitted pursuant to Human Rights Council resolutions 15/8 and 25/17. Because the Special Rapporteur commenced her mandate only on 2 June 2014, the report is preliminary in nature, outlining some of the central opportunities and priorities about which she wishes to consult with States, civil society and other relevant stakeholders as she continues to prepare her plan of work. The report also reflects on the valuable work undertaken by the two previous mandate holders and surveys key advances made in the first 14 years of the mandate. It then offers preliminary thoughts about the current status of the right to adequate housing and highlights priority areas in which the Special Rapporteur hopes that further advances can be made. 2/20 14-58890
