Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 7
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The reluctance of a number of States to recognize that economic, social and cultural rights are justiciable has done much to propagate unfounded misconceptions thereon. Those countries opposed to the justiciability of those rights argue that such a notion may interfere with State sovereignty claiming that it is inappropriate for courts to adjudicate on social and economic policy. There is also a perception that social and economic rights set forth political objectives and are too vague to be enforceable. The suggestion that these rights are resource-dependent and cannot be satisfied where there is a lack of capital, and the idea that these rights only impose positive obligations on States and civil and political rights give rise to negative ones, has also led to resistance from some States.
