Exercise Twelve

Taking each right issue in turn - you may wish to start with the right to adequate housing if you have identified that as of major concern - use each of the tables below to create a more accurate account of the status in your country of each right in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. You can simply place a tick in the box but you will get a more realistic picture if you describe the situation in a few words. For example, which law is inadequate, who is not allowed to participate, which non-state actor discriminates in practice and so on.
