Sandra Liebenberg, Socio-Economic Rights: Adjudication Under a Transformative Constitution
Sandra Liebenberg begins her major book on the first dozen years of South African socio-economic rights jurisprudence by noting that, ‘[a]s a white South African who was born and grew up in the apartheid era, I was privileged to live in a decent house with good services in white surburbia, to go to a decent school and to have access to decent health care whenever I needed it’ (p. xxi). Over the next 500 pages Liebenberg skilfully maps out how Sou…
Social Rights Jurisprudence: Emerging Trends in International and Comparative Law
In the space of two decades, social rights have emerged from the shadows and margins of human rights jurisprudence. The authors in this book provide a critical analysis of almost two thousand judgments and decisions from twenty-nine national and international jurisdictions. The breadth of the decisions is vast, from the resettlement of evictees to the regulation of private medical plans to the development of state programs to address poverty and …
Democratic Audit: Good Governance, Human Rights, War against Terror
Major constitutional changes from the 1980s onwards have not generally been informed by a vision of good governance, constitutionality or democratic principle. The Labour government’s reform programme since 1997 has retained central powers on which ‘elective dictatorship’ or Jack Straw’s ‘executive democracy’ depends. This article surveys the largely unconstrained use of these powers in 2003, in particular the Prime Minister’s decision to commit …
Economic and Social Rights in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership: The missing link - Introduction
The Importance of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in Guaranteeing Civil and Political Rights within the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership
By focusing exclusively on civil and political rights, the human rights component of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership mirrors one of the continuing fundamental misconceptions of the human rights discourse. Despite the proclamations of indivisibility and interdependence, economic, social and cultural rights are still frequently viewed as the poor relations of their civil and political rights counterparts. Yet, the increasing amount of economic, …
Mainstreaming of Human Rights: A Tentative Operational Approach to Monitoring and Enforcing Human Rights in Meda Development Projects
Whilst the case for mainstreaming human rights through development projects is clear in terms of improved transparency and accountability, the means by which it can be realized in practice appears less so. However, it is maintained that there are existing resources that can be utilized and adapted for the purpose without the need for developing complex new approaches, and that largely draw on existing data collections. This essay proposes practic…
Democratic Audit: Executive Democracy in War and Peace
Democratic Audit: Towards a Broader View of Democratic Achievement
How democratic is Britain? Using data collected by Democratic Audit, this article argues that Britain's progress towards democracy has been uneven in 2002. It assesses a wide range of areas, including the state of civil and political rights, the promotion of economic and social rights, elections and voter participation, party democracy, the effectiveness and responsiveness of government, the role of women in public life, devolution, and the state…
