An Analysis of the Judicial Enforcement of Social and Economic Rights
The modern concept of human rights can be traced back to the European Renaissance. However, it was only after the foundation of the United Nations Organization that practical steps toward global recognition and enforcement could become possible. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a unique document in the sense that never before in the history of mankind, nations did agree on universal human rights standards. As it was a declaration and non-binding in nature, it was succeeded by two conventions namely, the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Convention on Social Economic and Cultural Rights (ICSER), each comprising of a separate set of human rights. On the other hand, their champion sargue that civil and political rights are a wasteful luxury for an empty belly.
