Marginality of economic and social rights 2016, para. 66
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Many human rights proponents seem to prefer not to engage in these debates for fear that doing so would be a lost cause and that economic and social rights would be discredited or disowned rather than just marginalized or neglected. But that strategy leads to the same result in practical terms, except that the illusion is maintained that economic and social rights are an integral, even indivisible, part of the overall human rights framework.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
