Isu dan Polisi Semasa:
Terlalu banyak projek pembangunan yang diluluskan oleh kerajaan telah mengusir orang asli, peneroka bandar, petani, nelayan secara paksaan. Bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini, sistem penilaian impak alam sekitar mestilah diperbaharui secara keseluruhan dan mengguna pakai sistem penilaian yang berasaskan hak asasi manusia.
Nilai-nilai dan Kepercayaan:
Setiap individu mempunyai hak atas perumahan kerana ini berhubung kait dengan haknya untuk mendapatkan makanan, pekerjaan dan budaya.
Penyelesaian:
Memastikan pihak awam, swasta dan syarikat berkaitan kerajaan (GLC) untuk mematuhi piawaian hak asasi manusia, menggunakan sistem penilaian impak hak asasi manusia bagi tujuan kelulusan sebarang projek pembangunan pada semua skala, terutamanya yang berskala besar.
