Today is the International day for the Eradication of Poverty, proclaimed by the United Nations in 1992. To mark this day, there was an event this morning in Strasbourg to address the Right to Housing, article 31 of the Social Charter, under the theme “The right to decent housing for all”. I would like to thank very much the people of the Working Group that made the event possible.
