There is a clear overlap between securing socio-economic human
rights for all persons and arranging adequate access to essential
public services across society. Both are necessary to realise
thriving, inclusive societies, with adequate living standards for
all, based on human dignity. This edited volume brings together the
two topics for the first time. In particular, it identifies the
common challenges for essential public services provision and
socio-economic human rights realisation, and it explores how
socio-economic rights law can be harnessed to reinforce better
access to services. An important aim of this book is to understand
how international socio-economic human rights law and guideposts
can be used and strengthened to improve access to services, and
assess socio-economic legal and policy decisions. The volume
includes contributions from different continents, on a range of
different services, and engages with the realities of different
regulatory settings. After an introduction that sets out the most
important challenges for universal access to services - including
sufficient resources mobilisation, private actor involvement and
regulation, or the need for improved checks and balances - the book
goes on to discuss current issues in services provision and
socio-economic rights, as well as explores the place and role of
private business actors in the provision of services. In
particular, it assesses how the responsibility and accountability
of such actors for human rights can be improved . The final part of
the book narrows in on the under-explored human rights concepts of
'participation' and 'accountability', as essential prerequisites
for better 'checks and balances'. Overall, this volume presents a
unique and powerful illustration of how socio-economic human rights
law supports improved access to essential public services for all.
