Extreme inequality and human rights 2015, para. 32
Paragraph
Paragraph text
It is clear therefore that the most impoverished suffer the most extreme effects of inequality for a variety of reasons. In part, this is because their influence and capacity to exercise rights is diminished relatively, even if not absolutely, as others become wealthier and gain greater political and economic power, and in part because they are more vulnerable to the harms associated with social unrest, crime and violence.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
