This module focuses on debates and case studies in socioeconomic rights practice. The module will cover case studies of contemporary dilemmas in economic, social and cultural rights, including examining the convergence of development and human rights. Questions around whether a distinction can meaningfully be made between civil and political rights and socioeconomic rights are engaged with, as well as whether socioeconomic rights are justiciable, and debates over rights-based approaches to development.
