Human rights based budget analysis projects have emerged at a time
when the United Nations has asserted the indivisibility of all
human rights and attention is increasingly focused on the role of
non-judicial bodies in promoting and protecting human rights. This
book seeks to develop the human rights framework for such budget
analyses, by exploring the international law obligations of the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
(ICESCR) in relation to budgetary processes. The book outlines
international experiences and comparative practice in relation to
economic and social rights budget analysis and budgeting. The book
sets out an ICESCR-based methodology for analysing budget and
resource allocations and focuses on the legal obligation imposed on
state parties by article 2(1) of ICESCR to progressively realise
economic and social rights to 'the maximum of available resources'.
Taking Northern Ireland as a key case study, the book demonstrates
and promotes the use of a 'rights-based' approach in budgetary
decision-making. The book will be relevant to a global audience
currently considering how to engage in the budget process from a
human rights perspective. It will be of interest to students and
researchers of international human rights law and public law, as
well as economic and social rights advocacy and lobbying groups.
