	4	+State obligations vis-a-vis the right to adequate housing are frequently misunderstood. They does not mean that the state is required to build housing for the entire population, or that housing should be provided free of charge to the populace, or even that this right will manifest itself in the same manner in all places at all times. Rather, recognition of the right to housing by a state means: The state undertakes to endeavor by all appropriate means to ensure that everyone has access to affordable and acceptable housing. and the state will undertake a series of measures which indicate policy and legislative recognition of each of the constituent aspects of the right to housing. The state will protect and improve houses and neighborhoods rather than damage or destroy them. The essential elements of the state’s obligation to implement all ESC rights (including the right to adequate housing) are encapsulated under article 2(1) of the ICESCR.

	11	+3. The Obligation to Protect the Right to Adequate Housing. The obligation to protect the right to adequate housing requires that governments prohibit third parties from preventing the enjoyment of the right to housing in any way. This applies to individuals, business enterprises and other entities. Governments must, for example, enact laws that protect the population from land and property speculation. They must create competent bodies to investigate violations and must assure the means of effective redress for victims, most notably through access to the courts. Governments must also intervene when powerful individuals or business enterprises evict persons from their land or their housing, by bringing to law those responsible and by guaranteeing restitution and/or compensation for the victims. The Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing, in several of his reports, has denounced the negative effects of the privatization of public services.41 He emphasizes that the government has the duty to guarantee, for example, that privatization of water will not have negative effects on access to water and to adequate housing for the population. Such privatization has very often entailed price increases that have made water unaffordable for the poorest. In Manila, for example, the price of water quadrupled between 1997 and 2003 after the privatization carried out by Lyonnaise des Eaux.42 In all cases of privatization of public services, including water or electricity, the government must continue to guarantee the protection of the right to adequate housing, including/especially for the poorest. The government is also responsible for intervening to avoid all discrimination in access to housing. A government that does not, for example, guarantee that no person shall be refused housing because of his/her sex, nationality or origin, nor prevent other forms of discrimination, violates its duty to protect the right to housing.
