Resettlement is widely known to have adverse impacts on communities, often accompanied by and resulting in a range of human rights abuses. Whenever resettlement is being considered, it is imperative to recognize that first and foremost people have the right to remain. Guided by the thematic report to the UN General Assembly of the Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, “Towards Guiding Principles on Resettlement: A Review and Assessment of Current Laws, Policies,and, Practices” (A/79/317), the panel members will discuss the challenges and opportunities in implementing human rights-based resettlement policies and will reflect on the key recommendations of the report, including on elements they would like to see reflected in the Global Guiding Principles on Resettlement, currently under preparation by the Special Rapporteur.
