Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
90. Migrants in an irregular or precarious situation are often obliged to live in
areas with poor access to basic services and facilities, notably in urban areas. The
Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate
standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context, has
highlighted that the housing situation of migrants in an irreg ular situation is of grave
concern, noting that, because of restrictions in their access to housing in the private
market or to public housing, such migrants are often homeless or living in crowded,
unsafe and unsanitary conditions. She reiterated States’ obligation to ensure
non-discrimination and equal treatment to migrants, irrespective of their status and
circumstances, in the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights, which
includes the right to adequate housing. Moreover, she noted that the hi gh degree of
precariousness experienced by migrants as a mere consequence of their status
required the adoption of special measures to counter the cumulative negative effect
of systemic marginalization and discrimination (see A/65/261).
Targets and indicators
91. A target addressing the specific needs of marginalized groups, including
migrants, who live in urban slums and suburban areas would be essential. Such a
target on improving the lives of slum dwellers should be firmly rooted in human
rights and ensure security of tenure, without which the possibility of forced
evictions remains. Indicators should include the development of programmes to
promote the social, cultural and economic integration of migrants in their countries
of destination.
11.
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for
sustainable development
92. States today are often simultaneously countries of origin, transit and
destination. They are all facing similar benefits and challenges from migration and
