Among other things, the HPRP instigated the appointment of a UN Special Rapporteur on Housing and Property Restitution and since 2002 has worked very closely with the Rapporteur, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, to elaborate the Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons (‘The Pinheiro Principles’).

Centre On Housing Rights and Evictions – Housing Rights for Everyone, Everywhere The Pinheiro Principles The UN Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons (‘The Pinheiro Principles’) are an important advancement in the field of restitution rights, and provide important guidance to all relevant actors, national and international, in addressing the legal and technical issues surrounding housing, land and property restitution.
