The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 54
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The situation is made worse by the fact that some of the leading international human rights non-governmental organizations insist that resource distribution is a matter they cannot address. That position makes meaningful action to eliminate extreme poverty almost impossible and thus largely entrenches the status quo. Policies premised on the assumption that effective poverty elimination strategies need not involve resource redistribution are at odds with empirical realities.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
