For several decades, social rights lacked proper recognition in
international law, being qualified as aspirational goals rather
than rights, and therefore not enjoying the same level of
protection or status as other human rights. This comprehensive
Research Handbook provides a comparative overview of the history,
nature and current status of social rights at the universal and
regional level. Tracing their evolution from rather modest
beginnings, to becoming the category of rights responding most
accurately to the 21st century's policy objectives of poverty
eradication and equitable resource allocation, this Research
Handbook assesses the mechanisms used to enhance the implementation
and enforcement of social rights. Offering in-depth discussion of
current debates in the field of social rights and international
law, expert contributors analyse the ability of these rights to act
as a tool to fight inequality, as well as to protect and ensure
diversity. In so doing, they examine how social rights now play a
central role in the shift from a state-centred to a value-based
global order. This Research Handbook will be a useful resource for
students and academics working on social rights in international
human rights law and other fields of public international law. It
will also be of value to lawyers, NGOs and state officials
concerned with the enforcement and implementation of social rights.
