Human rights based approach to recovery from the global economic and financial crises, with a focus on those living in poverty 2011, para. 66
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Social protection floor initiatives must be implemented from a rights-based approach. In previous reports, the Independent Expert has gone into considerable detail about the rights-based approach to social protection. The Expert reminds States that the right to social security is not dispensed with or diluted during times of crisis or recovery; indeed, it is more acute and pressing than ever. In order to ensure that social protection systems are in line with human rights standards, States should establish a solid legal and institutional framework for social protection measures at the national level.
