Back No. 63/2010 Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE) v. France

The complaint was registered on 15 November 2010. It concerns the eviction and expulsion of Roma from their homes and from France during the summer of 2010. The complainant organisation alleges that such evictions and expulsions amount to violations of Article 31 (right to housing) and Article 19§8 (guarantees concerning expulsion) of the Revised Charter. The complainant organisation also argues that the facts at stake constitute discrimination (Article E) in the enjoyment of the above mentioned rights.

The European Committee of Social Rights declared the complaint admissible on 25 January  2011.

The European Committee of Social Rights concluded that there was a violation of Article E  in conjunction with Articles 31§2 and 19§8 of the Revised Charter and transmitted its report containing its  decision on the merits of the complaint to the Parties and to the Committee of Ministers on 13 July 2011.

The Committee of Ministers adopted Resolution CM/ResChS(2011)9 on 9 November 2011.
