Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 20

Paragraph
Paragraph text
State obligations regarding the right to education have been interpreted under international human rights law, establishing the right as justiciable. Available literature sheds light on the importance of identifying “justiciable components” of economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to education, and their enforcement at the international level, along with the obligations of States to protect, respect and fulfil them. Indeed, the courts have dealt with educational issues brought before them, and a number of key dimensions of the right to education have been subject to judicial or quasi-judicial review. The right to education has been considered to be fully justiciable in many jurisdictions.
