Abuse of Human Rights in Housing Under The Law in the Village of Lombard, DuPage County, Illinois USA

Abuse of Human Rights in Housing Under The Law in the Village of Lombard, DuPage County, Illinois USA

According to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, International human rights law recognizes everyone’s right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate housing. Despite the central place of this right within the global legal system, well over a billion people are not adequately housed. Millions around the world live in life- or health-threatening conditions, in overcrowded slums and informal settlements, or in other conditions which do not uphold their human rights and their dignity.

Further millions are forcibly evicted, or threatened with forced eviction, from their homes every year.

Adequate housing was recognized as part of the right to an adequate standard of living in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Other international human rights treaties have since recognized or referred to the right to adequate housing or some elements of it, such as the protection of one’s home and privacy.

The right to adequate housing is relevant to all States, as they have all ratified at least one international treaty referring to adequate housing and committed themselves to protecting the right to adequate housing through international declarations, plans of action or conference outcome documents. Several constitutions protect the right to adequate housing or outline the State’s general responsibility to ensure adequate housing and living conditions for all. Courts from various legal systems have also adjudicated cases related to its enjoyment, covering, for instance, forced evictions, tenant protection, discrimination in the housing sphere or access to basic housing-related services.

Increased international attention has also been paid to the right to adequate housing, including by human rights treaty bodies, regional human rights mechanisms and the Commission on Human Rights (now

replaced by the Human Rights Council), which created the mandate of “Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living” in 2000. These initiatives have helped to clarify the scope and content of the right to adequate housing.

This Fact Sheet starts by explaining what the right to adequate housing is, illustrates what it means for specific individuals and groups, and then elaborates upon States’ related obligations. It concludes with an overview of national, regional and international accountability and monitoring mechanisms.

This joint OHCHR/UN-Habitat Fact Sheet is the second in a series of joint publications by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights with other United Nations partners to focus on economic, social and cultural rights. The first was the Fact Sheet on the Right to Health, issued jointly with the World Health Organization, and a joint fact sheet with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on the right to food is forthcoming.

I. WHAT IS THE RIGHT TO ADEQUATE HOUSING?

A. Key aspects of the right to adequate housing

The United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has underlined that the right to adequate housing should not be interpreted narrowly. Rather, it should be seen as the right to live somewhere in security, peace and dignity. The characteristics of the right to adequate

housing are clarified mainly in the Committee’s general comments No. 4 (1991) on the right to adequate housing and No. 7 (1997) on forced evictions.1

• The right to adequate housing contains freedoms. These freedoms include:

 Protection against forced evictions and the arbitrary destruction

and demolition of one’s home;

 The right to be free from arbitrary interference with one’s home,

privacy and family; and

 The right to choose one’s residence, to determine where to live

and to freedom of movement.

• The right to adequate housing contains entitlements. These

entitlements include:

 Security of tenure;

 Housing, land and property restitution;

 Equal and non-discriminatory access to adequate housing;

 Participation in housing-related decision-making at the national

and community levels.

• Adequate housing must provide more than four walls and a

roof. A number of conditions must be met before particular forms

of shelter can be considered to constitute “adequate housing.”

These elements are just as fundamental as the basic supply and

availability of housing. For housing to be adequate, it must, at a

minimum, meet the following criteria:

1 General comments are adopted by the treaty bodies based on their monitoring experience.

They offer expert guidance to States on their obligations arising under a particular treaty.

4

 Security of tenure: housing is not adequate if its occupants do

not have a degree of tenure security which guarantees legal

protection against forced evictions, harassment and other

threats.

 Availability of services, materials, facilities and infrastructure:

housing is not adequate if its occupants do not have safe drinking

water, adequate sanitation, energy for cooking, heating, lighting,

food storage or refuse disposal.

 Affordability: housing is not adequate if its cost threatens or

compromises the occupants’ enjoyment of other human rights.

 Habitability: housing is not adequate if it does not guarantee

physical safety or provide adequate space, as well as protection

against the cold, damp, heat, rain, wind, other threats to health

and structural hazards.

 Accessibility: housing is not adequate if the specific needs of

disadvantaged and marginalized groups are not taken into

account.

 Location: housing is not adequate if it is cut off from employment

opportunities, health-care services, schools, childcare centres

and other social facilities, or if located in polluted or dangerous

areas.

 Cultural adequacy: housing is not adequate if it does not respect

and take into account the expression of cultural identity.

• Protection against forced evictions. Protection against forced

evictions is a key element of the right to adequate housing and is

closely linked to security of tenure.

Forced evictions are defined as the “permanent or temporary

removal against their will of individuals, families and/or communities

from the homes and/or land which they occupy, without the

provision of, and access to, appropriate forms of legal or other

protection.”2 According to the United Nations Human Settlements

Programme (UN-Habitat), at least 2 million people in the world are

forcibly evicted every year, while millions are threatened with forced

evictions.3

2 General comment 7, which goes on to note that “the prohibition on forced evictions

does not, however, apply to evictions carried out by force in accordance with the law

and in conformity with the provisions of the International Covenants on Human Rights”

(para. 4).

3 UN-Habitat, Global Report on Human Settlements 2007: Enhancing Urban Safety and

Security (Nairobi, 2007).

5

Forced evictions are carried out in a variety of circumstances and for

a variety of reasons, for instance, to make way for development and

infrastructure projects, urban redevelopment or city beautification,

or prestigious international events, as a result of conflicts over land

rights, armed conflicts or societal patterns of discrimination. Forced

evictions tend to be violent and disproportionately affect the poor,

who often suffer further human rights violations as a result. In

many instances, forced evictions compound the problem they were

ostensibly aimed at solving.

Regardless of their cause, forced evictions may be considered a

gross violation of human rights and a prima facie violation of the

right to adequate housing. Large-scale evictions can in general be

justified only in the most exceptional circumstances and only if they

take place in accordance with the relevant principles of international

law.

Safeguards in the case of evictions

If eviction may be justifiable, because the tenant persistently fails

to pay rent or damages the property without reasonable cause,

the State must ensure that it is carried out in a lawful, reasonable

and proportional manner, and in accordance with international

law. Effective legal recourses and remedies should be available to

those who are evicted, including adequate compensation for any

real or personal property affected by the eviction. Evictions should

not result in individuals becoming homeless or vulnerable to further

human rights violations.

In general, international human rights law requires Governments

to explore all feasible alternatives before carrying out any eviction,

so as to avoid, or at least minimize, the need to use force. When

evictions are carried out as a last resort, those affected must be

afforded effective procedural guarantees, which may have a

deterrent effect on planned evictions. These include:

 An opportunity for genuine consultation;

 Adequate and reasonable notice;

 Availability of information on the proposed eviction in reasonable

time;

 Presence of Government officials or their representatives during

an eviction;

6

 Proper identification of persons carrying out the eviction;

 Prohibition on carrying out evictions in bad weather or at night;

 Availability of legal remedies;

 Availability of legal aid to those in need to be able to seek judicial

redress.

to adequate housing

• The International Labour Organization’s 1962 Convention No. 117 concerning

Basic Aims and Standards of Social Policy (art. 5 (2))

A Trans-Atlantic Flight To London Heathrow International Airport

On September 2,1996, my Father completed cash payment for our Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow built in 1927 on George Hornbeck’s parcel subdivision owned by Mrs. Ahrens at 504 S. Westmore-Meyers Road related to Stebens Carpenter Handyman , adjoining the driveway and our backyard separated by a wooden picket fence.  I witnessed the full cash payment with my Father at the First State Bank of Maple Park in Kane County, Illinois USA.  Since my Father, I, and Nathan were all working full-time in 1996 as Lombard resident homeowners and taxpayers, life in the Lilac Village was costing us a lot more money, work, and suburban DuPage County expenses, as well as Illinois State fees, and U.S. federal taxes to us than were credited to other Lombard families in District 5, York Township in DuPage County, Illinois USA. In 1996, Mr. Roberto Hung Juris Doctor spent a lot of money in cash to pay Lombard real estate property taxes, mortgage, and DuPage County in York Township, Illinois.
I also spent a lot of cash in Lombard, purchasing electronics, computer equipment, and business professional memberships and associations for employment purposes. I was also travelling in the USA, Canada, France, and Germany. Since I was working the entire day, I would come back to the Lombard home late at night.
I had to travel to Berlin, Germany for the Languages and The Media Conference sponsored by the Federation of International Translators (FIT) during November 1996.
From O’Hare Airport (ORD), the Trans-Atlantic Flight was scheduled to leave at 8:00 p.m. Nathan dropped me off at the O’Hare International Terminal and did not wait for me to board the American Airlines flight to Heathrow Airport in London, England, in the United Kingdom.
When I got to the AA Terminal around 7:00 p.m., the intercom announced that due to engine failure in one of the propeller wings, the Trans-Atlantic flight to Heathrow Airport in London would be delayed and arrival time into Berlin would also be affected the next day. American Airlines was re-scheduling all international flight connections at Heathrow London and Berlin Germany.
The AA new engine overhaul took four (4) hours to be installed by Midnight. So, I had to wait at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago in order to make the Trans-Atlantic flight to Heathrow Airport in London UK before I could get to the InterContinental Hotel in Berlin, Germany.
All the passengers were edgy, irritated, and upset over AA faulty engine wing propeller for this Trans-Atlantic Flight, especially when AA promised a “complete new engine overhaul by Midnight”.
I wondered why at the last minute, before departure, AA had a faulty engine on a wing propeller for a Trans-Atlantic flight to Heathrow London. The thoughts and memories of airplanes failing in mid-flight across the Atlantic reminded me of the perils in travelling overseas.
Four (4) hours afterwards, I was also wondering if the new engine overhaul for the wing propeller would be completed successfully. The AA stewardess called all the passengers to board exactly by 12:00 a.m. At Midnight, I was on my way to Heathrow London with breakfast ready for my overseas flight to Europe.
With all the delays and excitement, I did not sleep at all during the whole experience. Aboard the Trans-Atlantic flight to Heathrow London, the AA Captain announced that due to the 4-hour delay, all itineraries to European cities had been changed to adjust connecting flight at Heathrow Airport in London, England UK. I had to get through the Customs Gatekeeper at Heathrow International Airport in London before I could catch my connecting British Airways flight to Berlin, Germany. Fortunately, I never get lost at European international airports, so after Customs at Heathrow London, I found the British Airways terminal for a cross-flight to Berlin, Germany. By Noon, I was aboard British Airways without my AA ORD luggage…which had not made the connecting flight with me. A British lunch was served to calm my Trans-Atlantic flight jitters, jetlag, and European-travel excitement. Overall, I made my way through the Trans-Atlantic flight to Heathrow London without any problems, in spite of the AA new engine overhaul for the wing propeller and the 4-hour delay to make the British Airways flight connection to Berlin, Germany. The only thing was that my AA luggage did not have the same luck in transit at Heathrow International Airport in London.

“From Chi-Town To The Western Suburbs of DuPage County, Illinois USA”

When Paul Rathe, a young urban gay who lived on Roscoe Street near Halsted Street, Boys Town and Lakeview in Chicago, convinced my brother and mother to buy a Lombard home and move to the western suburbs in DuPage County during 1992, he did not tell them that buying Lombard real estate would cause chronic health and medical problems for them, long-term disease, psychiatric problems, violence against women, assault, physical abuse, biomedical and bio-sexual transgendered studies, hospitalizations, traumatic brain injuries, head concussions, tragedy, family death, and abuse of human rights in housing under the law in York Township, Illinois, USA. Paul Rathe introduced my brother and mother to Baird & Warner realtor Paulette Weininger who found a Lombard home for them at 342 West Harrison Street near Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Elizabeth Street, Finley Road and Main Street close to Walgreens, near the DuPage County Crisis Unit, a Medical Group Practice located at 440 South Finley Road and Washington Blvd. in the Village of Lombard, Illinois 60148 USA. Linda Schuster who lived in Westmont was the girlfriend of Paul Rathe who referred my brother and mother to buy a house in Village of Lombard, also known as Lilac Town for the annual Lilac Parade celebration near Main Street in Spring time.
Since Paul Rathe became a housemate with his Pomeranian white dog living with my brother and mother, he also introduced them to other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) friends of his network in the Chicagoland area, while they lived in Lombard and the western suburbs of Illinois, USA.
Paul Rathe also referred other LGBT friends from Boys Town and Halsted Street to my brother and mother in the Village of Lombard to visit the western suburbs of DuPage County for the weekends.
Some of Paul Rathe’s LGBT friends visited my brother and mother at 342 West Harrison Street near Elizabeth and Finley Road by the Lombard Park District.
Other LGBT friends of Paul Rathe were referred to the Lombard home of Mr. Roberto Hung, his daughter, and son-in-law, when all three of them were working during the day, afternoon, and nights, out-of-town, and around the Chicagoland area.

Remembering July 4th, 1997 in Lombard, Illinois USA

<img title=”” class=”alignnone” alt=”image” src=”https://gardeniahung.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wpid-2012-07-03-15-06-58.jpg&#8221; /

On July 4th, 1997, I had a Fourth of July Luncheon Celebration at our Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow with six (6) Special Guests–Chemical Engineer Philippe Alinat, his wife Christine, their two daughters, her Mother and her Sister visiting from Lyons, France. I invited French-speaking guests since I was Tutoring the Alinat’s oldest daughter at their home in Woodridge, Illinois USA. My traditional American Fourth of July Luncheon was catered by Kentucky Fried Chicken Original Recipe, Corn on the Cob, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Macaroni and Cheese, Cole Slaw, Corn Bread, and Soda Beverages, non-alcoholic in the afternoon. My Father, Mr. Roberto Hung Juris Doctor, was disabled and bedridden upstairs on the second floor on a Gastro-Intestinal tube and could not join our Fourth of July Luncheon. I prepared for him Mashed Potatoes and Small Pieces of Chicken, Corn Bread. My Father, a Lombard resident homeowner became disabled after he purchased the Lombard Historic Brick Bungalow on September 2, 1996. Four months afterwards on December 22, 1996, my Father was severely injured at home by a blunt hit to the head resulting in Traumatic Brain Injury and an Aneurysm surgically treated by a neurosurgery at Good Samaritan Advocate Hospital in Downers Grove, Illinois USA. My Special Guests understood my predicament with DuPage Home Care Physicians Dr. Thomas Cornwell M.D., Nancy Minch R.N. and Jennifer, a Certified Nurse’s Assistant from Woodridge who lived at Seven Bridges in Illinois, USA. Philippe and Christine Alinat were members of the Alliance Française de Chicago and also members of the Union des Français à l’Étranger since Christine’s family had lived in Morocco, Algeria, as well as in Lyons, France. All together there were eight (8) people present for my Fourth of July Luncheon in Lombard during 1997, including my Father, Mr. Roberto Hung who was a senior invalid at home upstairs in our Lombard home where it used to be at 502 South Westmore-Meyers Road and Washington Boulevard near St. Pius X Catholic Church. Everyone, including Philippe Alinat and his family, enjoyed the afternoon Fourth of July in 1997 and took pictures of us in our Lombard home, District 5, York Township, DuPage County, Illinois 60148-3028 USA. As far as I can remember, the Alinats did not provide for me or my family in Lombard another invitation since they were in Woodridge, Illinois. I was not invited to any other event with Philippe, Christine, and her two daughters in Woodridge, Illinois USA. Although I remember Philippe and Christine Alinat in 1997, I have not seen them in fifteen (15) years. I speak French fluently and travelled to Paris and Strasbourg in France during 1995. ©2012 GHung’s Blog WordPress. All Rights Reserved. Amitié Francophone
