I Believe in Human Rights

By Freek Spinnewijn, Director of FEANTSA 

I believe in human rights. I even believe in human rights for people experiencing homelessness. This has to be said, because in many countries, States, and cities, the human rights of people experiencing homelessness are at worst violated, and most often ignored.

State of Housing Rights

The right to housing is guaranteed in both the Swedish Constitution and by law. The Constitution ensures that it shall be incumbent upon the public administration to secure, inter alia, the right to housing.

Sweden ratified the Revised European Social Charter on 29/05/1998, accepting 83 of the Revised Charter’s 98 paragraphs, including the Article 31 on the right to housing. It ratified the Additional Protocol providing for a system of collective complaints on 29/05/1998. It has not yet made a declaration enabling national NGOs to submit complaints.
