Rights, Scarcity, and Justice
An Analytical Inquiry into the Adjudication of the Welfare Aspects of Human RightsBook | 1st edition 2014 | United Kingdom | Gustavo Arosemena SolorzanoCan human rights really protect people from want? If one is lacking medical care or housing, can one really go to a judge and ask for the provision of such goods and services? These questions have proved divisive for academics, politicians and judges working in the field of human rights. Some consider that there is no real difference between civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights. Others think that economic, social and cultural rights have structural features that make their judicial protection unwelcome. This book aims to move this debate forward.€77.00 incl. VAT -
