Abstract: This paper examines forced evictions as a severe human rights violation, with a focus on cases between 1998 and 2000 driven by state actions and development projects. It differentiates between planned and emergency evictions, highlighting the legal and social impacts on affected communities. Key discussions include General Comment No. 7 on Forced Evictions, which outlines state obligations, and the *Comprehensive Human Rights Guidelines on Development-Based Displacement*. The paper also references publications from COHRE, offering advocacy tools, and incorporates the *Global Survey* to provide an international perspective on the widespread issue of displacement and its human rights implications.
