Social Rights Framework

Edit

A social rights framework is a legal and normative structure for recognizing, protecting, and implementing rights related to individuals’ social and economic well-being [1]. Grounded in international human rights law and national constitutional systems, it encompasses rights such as access to education, health care, housing, social security, and decent working conditions. The framework establishes corresponding state obligations to respect, protect, and fulfil these rights, including adopting legislation, implementing policies, allocating resources, and preventing discrimination [2]. It also provides standards for assessing government accountability, evaluating progress, and seeking remedies when rights are violated . Its implementation depends on legal institutions, available resources, and effective enforcement mechanisms.
