This article explores how the right to respect one's home under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights would apply in the context of housing and social control. After explaining the connections between social control, housing, and human rights, it analyzes the selected case law of the European Court of Human Rights on Article 8 in certain cases concerning housing with a view to understanding the protection asymmetries inherent to the provision, and what that would entail for the employment of social control in the sphere of housing. These protection asymmetries are identified between, first, the homeless/inadequately housed and those with a home, and second, with regard to the latter, between lawful occupiers and unlawful occupiers. The examination is conducted, first, by analyzing the Court's interpretation of the definitional scope of Article 8 and its exclusion, in principle, of the provision of housing therefrom, and second, by looking at the application of Article 8 in public eviction cases.

住房和社会控制：重新评估《欧洲人权公约》第 8 条的保护不对称性

本文探讨了《欧洲人权公约》第 8 条规定的尊重家庭的权利如何在住房和社会控制方面适用。在解释了社会控制、住房和人权之间的联系之后，本文分析了欧洲人权法院在某些涉及住房的案件中关于第8条的判例法，以了解该条款固有的保护不对称性，以及什么这将需要在住房领域实行社会控制。这些保护不对称首先体现在无家可归者/住房不足者与有住房者之间，其次就后者而言，体现在合法占用者与非法占用者之间。审查首先通过分析法院对第 8 条定义范围的解释以及原则上排除由此提供住房的情况，其次通过考察第 8 条在公共驱逐案件中的适用情况。
