Economic, social and cultural rights

---

The book Economic, Social and Cultural Rights – Study by the Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as a Component of the Right to an Adequate Standard of Living by Miloon Kothari provides a comprehensive analysis of the right to adequate housing as an essential element of the right to an adequate standard of living under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). It explores the social, economic, and cultural dimensions influencing access to housing, including poverty, forced evictions, gender inequality, and discrimination against vulnerable groups. Kothari emphasizes that adequate housing encompasses not only physical shelter but also security, affordability, and dignity within a safe environment. Drawing on field missions and policy recommendations, the book highlights the obligations of states and the international community to ensure that every individual enjoys access to adequate housing as a fundamental basis for realizing all other human rights.
