02. Economic, social and cultural rights – what do they mean? Passed

Thursday November 17, 2016 11:00 - 12:00 High Live 1

Panelists: Maria Green, Raoul Wallenberg Institute, Rebecka Jalvemyr, Fian

Category: Economic, social and cultural rights

The right to food, health care, housing and education are examples of human rights that states are obliged to protect, respect and fulfill. But what do these rights entail and why are economic, social and cultural rights still often treated as non justiciable, how does the lack of complaint mechanisms impact the possibility to fulfill them? What does the legal framework look like and what can you do if you are being denied your rights?
