| Title | The Openness, Transparency, and Participation in the Consultation Process between the Albanian Public Authorities and the Roma Community: Cases of Forced Evictions and Public Investments that Affect Housing |
| Summary | A considerable number of the Roma families in Albania live under insecure housing tenure and unacceptable living conditions. Forced evictions and displacement are among the most concerning issues that the Roma face. Evictions are caused by private actors or public authorities to use the territory that Roma live on for the construction of public buildings and investments purposes. The aim of the thesis is to dig deeper and describe the consultation process between the Albanian public authorities and the Roma community regarding the cases of evictions triggered by the public and private investments. The consultation process should be the initial stage of the decision to intervene for the government. In the four cases of evictions that I investigated in this study, I found very limited and even absent signs of consultation, which violated the human right, the legal procedure, and the international framework. |
