Postponement of renewal of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on

adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard

of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context

At its 34th meeting, on 26 September 2013, the Human Rights Council, recalling

Council resolution 16/21 of 25 March 2011 and General Assembly resolution 65/281 of

17 June 2011, in an effort to synchronize schedules for resolutions, mandates and

presentation of reports by the special procedures, decided to postpone the renewal of the

mandate of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an

adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context to its

twenty-fifth session, and, for that reason, to extend, on an exceptional basis, the mandate of

the Special Rapporteur until that session.

[Adopted without a vote.]
