No. 53/2008 European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless (FEANTSA) v. Slovenia
The complaint was registered on 28 August 2008. The complainant organisation pleads a violation of Articles 31 (right to housing) and 16 (the right of the family to social, legal and economic protection), read alone or in conjunction with Article E (non discrimination) of the Revised Charter. In support of its request, the complainant organisation alleges that a vulnerable group of persons occupying denationalised flats in the Republic of Slovenia have been deprived of their occupancy titles and subjected to eviction. As the persons concerned were denied access to alternative housing in the long term, they have now become homeless. These measures have also resulted in housing problems for the families of the evicted persons.
