HOUSING RIGHTS 30 In his 2003 report to the CHR the Special Rapporteur highlighted the cost of such projects in terms of the loss of traditional territories and land, forced eviction and environmental destruction in countries such as Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, India and the Philippines. 31 Such collaboration is not confined to the Special Rapporteur on Housing. During 2003/4 the Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples sent 25 joint communications involving nine other thematic mechanisms (see Report of the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Indigenous Peoples, UN doc. E/CN.4/2004/80/ Add.1, 2004, p. 20, Table 2). 32 Ibid., para. 102–7. 33 Ibid., para. 108–18. 34 This is largely due to the requirement that a claim solely on non-discrimination grounds under Article 14 of the ECHR cannot be made, but must be lodged in conjunction with one claiming a breach of a substantive article, e.g. right to property or private and family life. 35 Increasing numbers of cases have been found manifestly ill-founded, suggesting that the Court might be using this as an administrative device to limit the number of claims it considers. 36 That is, assuming that countries have accepted the right of petition to the HRC or CEDAW, which many have yet to do. 37 See, for example, McDowall, D., The Kurds, London, Minority Rights Group International, 1991, and Amnesty International, Turkey: The Duty to Supervise, Investigate and Prosecute, London, 1999. 38 Akdivar v.
