El Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales: su aplicación efectiva respecto de la vivienda digna en la República Argentina

Open access

Abstract

Este artículo pretende hacer un pequeño análisis de la aplicación del Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, específicamente en lo referido al acceso a una vivienda digna y adecuada en la República Argentina, y la respuesta que ha dado el Estado nacional a través de sus poderes (Poder Ejecutivo, Poder Legislativo, Poder Judicial) y los Estados provinciales mediante sus políticas y sentencias, a fin de alcanzar la concreción de este derecho reconocido internacionalmente en virtud del PIDESC e incorporado a la Constitución Nacional en su art. 75 inc. 22, otorgándole jerarquía superior a las leyes.

Written from the paper’s full text.

TL;DR

This article examines how the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR/PIDESC) has been applied to the right to decent housing in Argentina, reviewing constitutional incorporation (art. 75 inc. 22 CN) and judicial decisions across the national and provincial levels. It concludes that public policies have been insufficient and that effective protection of the right to decent housing has not yet been achieved, with courts increasingly intervening through the doctrine of "control de convencionalidad."

Key findings

  • The author concludes that the "políticas públicas" implemented "no resultan suficientes para resolver la problemática habitacional," that the political branches appear "indiferentes," and that "la protección real y efectiva hasta el momento no ha sido lograda," despite an existing legal framework.
  • Argentine courts have applied the ICESCR and Inter-American jurisprudence via "control de convencionalidad," ordering concrete housing remedies: in CABA's *K.M.P.* (TSJ, Expte. 9205/12, 21.03.2014) the GCBA was ordered to propose adequate lodging for a 49-year-old unemployed man with HIV; in Buenos Aires' *A., G. C.* (SCBA LP A 71535, 30/10/2013) the province and municipality were ordered to provide adequate housing within 60 days and hotel lodging within 48 hours, plus a monthly subsidy equal to the moving minimum wage.
  • The TSJ of CABA later shifted to a more restrictive stance in *Q. C., S. Y. c/ GCBA* (CSJN, Fallos Q. 64. XLVI, 24.04.2012), where the CSJN ordered the GCBA to provide lodging suited to the child's disability and to include the mother in a current or future housing program; the SCBA followed this precedent.
  • In Santa Cruz (*Defensoría Oficial Nº Uno de Menores*, Expte. D-15.194/12, 20.12.2013) the TSJ ordered the Executive to regulate arts. 46–47 of Ley 3062 within 60 days, setting a minimum allocation of 50% of the Salario Mínimo Vital y Móvil per child and 70% for children with disabilities.
  • In Tierra del Fuego (*Castro, Claudia Rosana c/ I.P.V.*), the Cámara rejected the appeal, holding that the claim should have been brought against the provincial State rather than the autarchic Instituto Provincial de la Vivienda; the author criticizes this reasoning as contradictory.

Methods

  • Doctrinal legal analysis (no empirical data collection): the article reviews the ICESCR's incorporation into the "bloque de constitucionalidad" via art. 75 inc. 22 CN, the doctrine of "control de convencionalidad" developed by the Inter-American Court (from *Almonacid Arellano* onward), and ICESCR General Comments No. 4 (adequate housing) and No. 9 (domestic application).
  • The paper surveys national and provincial constitutional provisions on housing (CABA arts. 20, 31, 38, 40; Buenos Aires art. 11; Corrientes art. 39; Santa Fe arts. 21, 27; Chaco arts. 29, 35, 42, 59; Neuquén arts. 38, 45, 48; Tierra del Fuego arts. 23, 28; Santa Cruz art. 55).
  • Case-law analysis is organized by jurisdiction: CABA, Buenos Aires, Corrientes, Santa Fe, Chaco, Neuquén, Tierra del Fuego, and Santa Cruz, examining how each court applied the PIDESC and CSJN precedent.

Limitations

  • The paper states no explicit limitations section.
  • Evident from the text: the analysis is purely doctrinal and qualitative, with no empirical measurement of the housing deficit or of policy outcomes; the case selection is illustrative rather than systematic, so it cannot support claims about the frequency or representativeness of judicial outcomes.
  • Evident from the text: the author adopts an explicitly critical normative stance (e.g., describing the political branches as "indiferentes" and criticizing the Tierra del Fuego ruling), and the conclusion rests on the author's interpretation of the reviewed cases rather than on independent evidence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-17, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-17 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
