    PALAIS DES NATIONS • 1211 GENEVA 10, SWITZERLAND Mandates of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions REFERENCE: AL KEN 2/2019 13 March 2019 Excellency, We have the honour to address you in our capacity as Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolutions 33/30 and 35/15. In this connection, we would like to bring to the attention of your Excellency’s Government information we have received concerning what appears to be a persisting and growing pattern of extrajudicial executions due to excessive use of force by Kenyan law enforcement personnel and other security agencies, in the context of combating criminality and terrorism. Concerns regarding alleged extrajudicial executions by police forces have been raised by Special Procedures mandate holders in two previous communications sent to your Excellency’s Government on 11 July 2017 (AL KEN 9/2017) and on 16 October 2017 (UA KEN 13/2017). We would like to thank you for your response to KEN 13/2017 from 18th October 2017 and await a “substantive response from relevant authorities in Nairobi”, as indicated by your Excellency’s Government’s letter. We respectfully urge your Excellency’s Government to provide us with replies at your earliest convenience to other letters previously sent regarding these and similar concerns. According to the information received: Instances of enforced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial executions by law enforcement personnel against youth in slum areas in Kenya have been on the rise, particularly during the past five years, surrounded and encouraged by what appears to be a general climate of impunity.

  • Affordable Housing Provision in Informal Settlements Through Land
    sustainability Article Affordable Housing Provision in Informal Settlements through Land Value Capture and Inclusionary Housing Bernard Nzau * and Claudia Trillo School of Science, Engineering and Environment, University of Salford, Manchester M5 4WT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 18 July 2020; Published: 24 July 2020 Abstract: Public-driven attempts to provide decent housing to slum residents in developing countries have either failed or achieved minimal output when compared to the growing slum population. This has been attributed mainly to shortage of public funds. However, some urban areas in these countries exhibit vibrant real estate markets that may hold the potential to bear the costs of regenerating slums. This paper sheds light on an innovative hypothesis to achieve slum regeneration by harnessing the real estate market. The study seeks to answer the question “How can urban public policy facilitate slum regeneration, increase affordable housing, and enhance social inclusion in cities of developing countries?” The study approaches slum regeneration from an integrated land economics and spatial planning perspective and demonstrates that slum regeneration can successfully be managed by applying land value capture (LVC) and inclusionary housing (IH) instruments. The research methodology adopted is based on a hypothetical master plan and related housing policy and strategy, aimed at addressing housing needs in Kibera, the largest slum in Nairobi, Kenya. This simulated master plan is complemented with economic and residual land value analyses that demonstrate that by availing land to private developers for inclusionary housing development, it is possible to meet slum residents’ housing needs by including at least 27.9% affordable housing in new developments, entirely borne by the private sector.
