A stepping stone for the right to adequate housing of undocumented migrants: Notes on Infante Díaz v Spain

Author

  • Serde Atalay

Summary, in English

This article analyses one of the recent views adopted by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in the communication Infante Díaz v Spain concerning the right to adequate housing under Article 11(1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This view is important, as it marks the first time the CESCR found a violation of the right to adequate housing of an undocumented migrant under this provision.
