A delegation of the International Alliance of Inhabitants and of the Unione Inquilini (Tenant’s Union) has delivered to the Prefecture of Milan the Recommendations drawn up by the Jury of the 4th Session of the International Tribunal of Evictions (TIE),  so that they can be passed on to the Italian government and to the EU Ministers of Social Cohesion meeting in the Lombard capital. They emphasize the request for a moratorium of evictions at the European level with a view to a European Union directive prohibiting evictions without adequate rehousing and a previous agreement. The Recommendations relating to evictions in Latin America, Africa and Asia will be sent to the governments concerned and, together with those relating to the European Union, to the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations and UN-Habitat with a views of the alternative to the 2016 United Nations Habitat III Summit.
