Webinar: Lessons from the Experience of the Follow-Up Procedure in MBD v. Spain

On November 5, 2018, members gathered for a webinar discussion titled: “Implementing CESCR Decisions: Lessons from the Experience of the Follow-Up Procedure in MBD v. Spain.” The online seminar about the tenants' housing rights case served as an opportunity for advocates promoting implementation in Spain to distill and communicate lessons learned from the follow-up process to the wider network community. Presenters included Irene Escorihuela Blasco (Observatori DESC, ESCR-Net member), Javier Rubio (Centro de Asesoría y Estudios Sociales – CAES), and Marta Mendiola (Amnesty International España, ESCR-Net member).
