Social And Economic Rights

This comment situates Aryeh Neier’s critique of social and economic rights within a broader set of arguments about the nature of such rights as rights, about their justiciability and enforceability, and about their value to social justice advocates and social movements’ political strategies. It highlights the main responses to Neier’s critique articulated by human rights scholars and activists, including those pointing to the indivisibility and interdependence of the human rights framework. The comment draws however on historical and theoretical perspectives on the fundamental structure of this framework to both revisit and transcend Neier’s critique. It points to approaches that aim at taking critique seriously when engaging in social justice-oriented human rights work.
