24/115.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.
