UNHRP Working Paper No. 1: Monitoring housing rights: Developing a set of indicators to monitor the full and progressive realisation of the human right to adequate housing

This background paper for the 2003 expert group meeting on housing rights monitoring presents a framework for the development of a set of housing rights indicators. A set of 6 housing rights elements and 17 housing rights indicators is proposed in the report.

Once a final set of indicators has been agreed upon, these indicators will form the foundation for the establishment of a global system for monitoring the full and progressive realisation of the human right to adequate housing, as provided for in international instruments.
