Special Rapporteur on housing: domicide and reconstruction
The Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, expresses concerns over the mass destruction of housing and civilian infrastructure in conflict, “domicide”, which has intensified in recent years with limited accountability. He also refers to his draft Guiding Principles for Reconstruction in Conflict-Affected Countries and Territories, emphasizing the importance of adopting a human rights-based approach to post-conflict reconstruction.
