Vindicating Socio-Economic Rights

More about the book

Socio-economic rights are often overlooked within the human rights framework, likened to Cinderella due to their marginalization. Despite the universal acknowledgment of all human rights as indivisible, there is a reluctance in constitutional democracies to recognize and enforce these rights judicially. A key concern driving this hesitation is the belief that enforcing socio-economic rights conflicts with the separation of powers doctrine, highlighting the ongoing struggle for equality in human rights recognition.
