'One World, Whose Dream? Housing Rights Violations and the Beijing Olympic Games'
16 July, 2008: The Beijing Olympics has displaced 1.5 million people since 2000, according to a COHRE report, 'One World, Whose Dream? Housing Rights Violations and the Beijing Olympic Games'. The report found that the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to award the Games to Beijing has been a catalyst in increasing forced evictions and displacements in Beijing. COHRE’s report finds the Chinese government guilty of widespread forced evictions along with other human rights violations during preparations for the Beijing Olympics. COHRE also holds the International Olympic Committee (IOC) responsible for its failure to consider China’s human rights record and the absence of independent mechanisms to provide protection against human rights violations, when selecting Beijing as the host-city for the 2008 Olympic Games.
