| Title | Judicial Enforcement of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights at the International and Regional Levels: Challenges in the Assessment of State Obligation and Provision of Effective Remedies |
| Summary | The main objective of the present thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of judicial enforcement of economic, social and cultural rights (hereinafter "ESC rights" or "socio-economic rights") at the international and regional levels. The thesis, specifically, focuses on the individual complaint procedures set up by the judicial and quasi-judicial organs that deal with complaints related to these rights. With this end in mind, the thesis will comparatively study the procedures available at the United Nations, Inter-American and African Human rights systems for the adjudication of socio-economic rights. The thematic focus of the thesis is, particularly, tailored to assessment of state obligation in adjudication of individual cases and provision of effective remedies when violation is found, since they are the main areas to which challenges on judicial enforcement of socio-economic rights are associated. These thematic issues will be systematically analysed by reference to the case laws of the jurisdictions selected for this study and other relevant jurisdictions as the case may be. Accordingly, the paper yearns to identify the normative lacunas and practical challenges encountered in the enforcement of ESC rights through individual complaint procedures in order to give insight as to the necessary reforms. |
