Belkis Escobar Armijo and Juan Carlos Bedoya Acosta v. Spain

Decision adopted by the Committee under the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, concerning communication No. 46/2018¹*

1. *Adopted by the Committee at its seventieth session (27 September–15 October 2021). ↩

On 4 July 2018, the authors submitted an individual communication to the Committee on their behalf and on behalf of their three minor children. On 16 July 2018, the Committee registered the communication and requested the State party to take interim measures to suspend the eviction of the authors and their children pending the consideration of the communication or to provide them with adequate alternative housing, in genuine consultation with them.

At a meeting on 12 October 2021, the Committee took note of the request from the authors, who stated that they have stable housing at present, for the Committee to discontinue the consideration of the communication. The Committee therefore decided, in accordance with rule 17 of its provisional rules of procedure under the Optional Protocol, to discontinue its consideration of the communication.
