Temporalised international human rights: Complicated times
The exploration of temporality within human rights discourse holds transformative potential. By dismantling the notion that human rights unfold linearly, we open up significant avenues for advancing debates on effectiveness, institutional reform, and doctrinal interpretations. Despite its significance, time remains underexamined in human rights discussions. Time enables a renewed analytical account of human rights—one that reveals their intricaci…
Concepts of Non-Retrogression in Economic and Social Rights
International economic and social rights law is based on six general obligations, including non-retrogression. The United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has struggled to develop an obligation of non-retrogression. Structurally, non-retrogression is formed of a prohibition on retrogressive measures and criteria that can pass a measure as permissible retrogression. The doctrine has evolved over time, with ten distinct ver…
The visual communication of Brexit in Northern Ireland: Decoding public imagery on identity, politics and Europe
The specific historical and political context of Northern Ireland has contributed to the development of an expansive visual landscape conveying symbolic meanings and messaging through words, pictures and colours. Murals, posters and graffiti are common ways in which this is seen, drawing a link between the past and the present, with real-time political developments not only inspiring new additions to this landscape but also shaping how existing i…
Unwinding Retrogression: Examining the Practice of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
The doctrine of non-retrogression used by the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is apt for the current moment of crisis and withdrawal from human rights standards. It addresses instances where the State is responsible for backwards steps in human rights protection. However, the doctrine has rarely been used by the Committee as it is paralysed within conceptual confusion and practical ambiguity. This article unravels…
Bordering two unions: Northern Ireland and Brexit
Rebecca Tomlinson) for their work on the project.On Twitter, @ gavmacn put us on to our cover image; a gate without a fence is fast becoming a pretty good metaphor for some of the more bizarre attempts to find a solution to the conundrum that the Irish border poses for Brexit.Finally, our thanks are due to our (long-suffering) families and friends, who, by now, understand too much about customs unions and categories of rights holder.Their support…
Contesting Austerity: The Potential and Pitfalls of Socioeconomic Rights Discourse
This article argues that, while socioeconomic rights have the potential to contribute to the contestation of austerity measures and the reimagining of a “postneoliberal” order, there are a number of features of socioeconomic rights as currently constructed under international law that limit these possibilities. We identify these limitations as falling into two categories: “contingent” and “structural.” Contingent limitations are shortcomings in t…
Socio-Economic Rights During Economic Crises: A Changed Approach to Non-Retrogression
When the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) released a letter in early 2012 addressing the financial and economic crises, it was long overdue. Finally, and around four and a half years after the crises began, the body responsible for monitoring those rights that had been most severely impacted had spoken. But what had been said? This article examines the alterations to the doctrine of non-retrogression that the 2012 Lett…
