Statement of the Executive Director of UN-HABITAT, Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka on the occasion of the 25th Meeting of the UNEP Governing Council

Statement of the Executive Director of UN-HABITAT, Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka on the occasion of the Baghdad Conference  
Baghdad, Iraq
Housing is a fundamental human right and it is the duty of all responsible governments to ensure that each and every citizen has access to adequate housing along with all basic infrastructure and services such as access roads, water and sanitation, electricity, other community services. The failure to do so in a timely and cost effective manner results in the proliferation of slums which are the breeding grounds of disease and deprivation, the loss of human dignity and ultimately deep rooted frustrations that find vent in violence both within homes and outside.
