ABSTRACT

This chapter looks into some techniques that have been developed in order to measure progress. It investigates the possibilities for enforcing progressive realization through court, again based on the international development of that concept. The chapter explores the potential to create more result-oriented obligations on the domestic level. It discusses a reasonableness review to be useful as an instigator for result-oriented obligations, it is definitely necessary that it is interpreted as an appropriateness or even an ability review. In order to attain an enforceable reasonableness approach to the right to housing that incentivizes result-oriented obligations, the chapter reviews the need for both an ex-ante and an ex-post analysis for each measure related to this fundamental right. It argues that a political composition of the proposed monitoring body might give better guarantees for later modifications on the basis of the analysis, the nature of this mechanism and the task it should perform definitely demands it to be an expert body.
