Human rights based approach to recovery from the global economic and financial crises, with a focus on those living in poverty 2011, para. 67
Paragraph
Paragraph text
By creating legal entitlements or social protection guarantees , States ensure that beneficiaries are empowered and become rights-holders. This also ensures the continuity of the programme, protecting it against political manipulation and preventing programmes from being captured by the private sector or local elites. The legal and institutional framework regulating social protection should clearly define the role and responsibilities of all stakeholders and must guarantee the existence of accessible complaint mechanisms.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
