Abstract:
One of the manifest differences between the Bill of Rights in the interim and the 1996 Constitutions is the more comprehensive treatment of social and economic rights in the latter.1 In addition to the social and economic rights of children contained in section 28(1)(c), education in section 29 and detained persons' rights in section 35(2)(e), Chapter 2 of the 1996 Constitution encapsulates "an entirely new set of rights not foreshadowed in the interim Constitution".2 These relate essentially to housing rights, set out in section 26, and rights protecting health care services, food, water and

Abstract:
Most countries recognise socio-economic rights as fundamental rights. These rights enable people to access basic necessities for them to live a dignified life. Such necessities include adequate housing, food, healthcare, education, social security, and water. Socio-economic rights are recognised as human rights in several international human rights instruments such as the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (‘UDHR’) and the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (‘ICESCR’).

In recent years the South African legislature has made a very bold attempt to improve the socio-economic conditions of citizens. Amongst others, the Social Assistance Act 59 of 1992 provides for monthly payments to citizens under certain prescribed conditions. In situations where other legislation does not provide a remedy for those unable to care for themselves the Constitution provides for justiciable socio-economic rights. Unfortunately legislative rights alone have proved insufficient and all too frequently the constitutional values and aspirations of human dignity and equality have had a

At first they were simply denied the status of any rights at all. Lately, there is a fair amount of recognition for them as rights. The tendency is, however, to relegate them to paper rights and invest very little effort in bringing about their actual realisation. In this thesis I inquire into the question of what a human right, properly so called, is, and then whether, in the light of that inquiry, there is a basis for the reluctance t

The rights-based approach (RBA) to development emerged as a new and relatively authoritative paradigm, starting from the late 1990s. At its core is the argument that human rights and development converge and, unless the socio-economic rights of the poor are attained, poverty cannot be alleviated. Its approach is to shift NGOs’ strategy from providing charity to empowering the poor politically so that they are able to claim their rights.

COVID-19 pandemic and associated national responses have had ramifications for societies around the world, including South Africa. The marginalisation of people with disabilities is well documented in pre-COVID times, and emerging evidence suggests that the crisis has made this worse, as well as presenting new challenges for people with disabilities. This paper presents a review of published research and grey literature of relevance to the proven or anticipated socio-economic, wellbeing and human right related impacts of COVID-19 on people with disabilities in South Africa and other contexts.

Abstract:
This policy paper analyzes the European Union’s (EU) AI Act, aimed at regulating Artificial Intelligence (AI) through four risk classifications related to data protection, privacy, security, and fundamental rights. While the Act establishes regulatory frameworks, it neglects employment security, a critical factor behind public mistrust of AI. The paper warns that failure to address this issue could deepen socio-economic inequalities and lead to political unrest. Recommendations include promoting collective negotiation between workers and employers, advocating for legislation on redundancies li

Abstract:
Nigeria’s socio-political and economic environment presents significant challenges for women’s rights and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and more (LGBTQI+) rights. Women also face discriminatory practices, such as in the northern Kano state, where civil service rules penalise women for pregnancy-related training interruptions. In March 2022, the National Assembly rejected five gender bills that sought to enhance women’s representation in politics by creating reserved seats and mandating significant female representation in political appointments. This setback reflect

Abstract:
Mobility limitations in popular neighbourhoods are mainly related to the availability of adquate physical infrastructure. However, it is important to recognise that these limitations extend beyond infrastructure, and involve socio-economic conditions, daily life routines, people's rights and responsibilities, as well as multiple dimensions of identity. The most significant accessibility challenges to mobility infrastructure are faced by the population with functional diversity and people engaged in caregiving activities, predominantly women. This population has more complex travel routes, high

Abstract:
Assessing Sudanʼs Electoral Legal Framework provides an in-depth insight and analysis of Sudanʼs current legal framework for elections. It measures Sudanʼs legal electoral framework against a common international understanding of the principles, norms and obligations that define credible and democratic elections. The objective of this analysis is not to criticize or pass judgement on the countryʼs existing electoral processes; instead, it offers an unbiased assessment of how Sudanʼs existing electoral laws and country context create an enabling or disabling environment for free and fair electi
