The authors of the communications claim that the State Party violated their rights under article 11 (1) of the Covenant by evicting them without ensuring that they had alternative housing.
The Committee, acting through its Working Group on Communications, registered the communications and requested the State Party to take interim measures to suspend the eviction of the authors pending the consideration of the communications or to provide them with adequate alternative housing, in genuine and effective consultation with them.
The State Party submitted its observations on the communications, which were transmitted to the authors for comment. In the absence of a response from the authors, the secretariat sent reminders to them to ascertain whether they had lost interest in the communications. The secretariat received no response from the authors.
At its meeting on 27 September 2024, the Committee, having noted the absence of any response from the authors, despite repeated requests for comments on the State Party’s observations on the communications and for confirmation of their interest in pursuing the procedure, decided to discontinue consideration of the communications under rule 18 of its rules of procedure under the Optional Protocol.
