PILP filed an amicus curiae, or opinion letter, with the Hague Court of Appeals. The letter addresses the application of the right to housing in lawsuits over evictions in Rotterdam’s Tweebos neighborhood.

The letter explains what the right to housing means and how this human right permeates the Dutch legal system. It is important, according to PILP’s human rights lawyers, that adequate weight be given to this fundamental human right in the ongoing court cases.

Right on the City has published a comprehensive summary of the letter on its website. Recht op de Stad is an initiative of resident groups and other concerned Rotterdammers, and is committed to a fairer housing policy in Rotterdam.

More information about the right to housing and court cases on the Tweebos neighborhood can be found on our file page. PILP’s amicus curiae brief is available for download here.
