Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 53
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Many examples have been presented by the health and human rights movement of economic, social and cultural rights being neglected since they were perceived as not requiring immediate action based on erroneous interpretations of the fact that they were subject to progressive realization. That tendency to undermine importance of economic, social and cultural rights has led, and continues to lead, to a detrimental combination of poverty, inequalities and disempowerment of large groups of population, who will consequently suffer from poor health status and barriers to accessing health-care services.
