28-30 september 2017

Italy, Venice

Sala San Leonardo, Cannaregio 1584

The International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development will be the subject of the 6th  Session of the International Tribunal on Evictions, at the opening  of the World Zero Evictions Days,to give the floor to  the inhabitants who are the victims of tourism-driven property speculation around the world:

India: Expropriation and evictions to make room for a third airport for the national capital, New Delhi
Sri Lanka: Land grabbing for tourism development, Panama Village
Argentina: Evictions and gentrification in the historic neighbourhood of La Boca, Buenos Aires
Kenya: Violent evictions of the Masai in the name of protecting wildlife to support elite tourism
Italy: Fake tourist rentals on the Island of Pellestrina, Venice

The accused on the bench will be those who evict people and turn them into tourism extras as they convert cities and landscapes into museums and parks.

The Tribunal Jury, made up of activists and experts from around the world, will analyse each case, draft a verdict and make recommendations.

A People’s Jury, composed of members of the social organisations that seek to defend the inhabitants of Venice, will contribute to the debate and to the decisions.

PARTICIPATE: THIS TRIBUNAL IS ON YOUR SIDE!
