Human rights and poverty eradication. Homeless people. Minimum living income. Aparophobia

Abstract

The state has a duty to protect people in vulnerable conditions, such as those living on the streets. We cannot close our eyes to reality and ignore the facts that occur in our society or simply normalise them as part of everyday life. There is a need to guarantee a living income and means of subsistence for everyone, including homeless people. In fact, as long as the public authorities remain inert, the judiciary must act in the judicial control of public policies, in the face of inhumane conditions, the so-called "unconstitutional state of affairs", through so-called "structural actions", in the sense of transforming the social reality, by eradicating the causes of the "situation of the street population", as a means of protecting human rights. We will therefore analyse the internal and international rules on the protection of people in need and the means to eradicate poverty, the principles that govern the legal system and their practical application to the protection of homeless people and the means, de lege ferenda, to solve this problem that plagues countries.
