The Right To Adequate Housing In New Delhi, India

From 14 to 28 March, 2014, three students in the International Human Rights Clinic at the University of Chicago Law School, Brian Ahn, Alex Kiles and Marco Segatti, accompanied by Clinical Professor Sital Kalantry and Clinical Lecturer in Law Brian Citro, in partnership with Nazdeek, a legal capacity-building organization based in India, spent two weeks in New Delhi, researching housing rights and policy. The goal was to identify the major problems and challenges faced by slum-dwellers and homeless people in the city. During this time, the University of Chicago team met with policy researchers, activists, urban planners, human rights lawyers and Government officials, including judges and heads of land-owning agencies.
