Socio-economic rights in South Africa: symbols or substance?
The embrace of socio-economic rights in South Africa has featured prominently in scholarship on constitution making, legal jurisprudence and social mobilisation. But the development has attracted critics who claim that this turn to rights has not generated social transformation in practice. This book sets out to assess one part of the puzzle and asks what has been the role and impact of socio-economic strategies used by civil society actors. Focusing on a range of socio-economic rights and national trends in law and political economy, the book's authors show how socio-economic rights have influenced the development of civil society discourse and action. The evidence suggests that some strategies have achieved material and political impact but this is conditional on the nature of the claim, degree of mobilisation and alliance building, and underlying constraints
Teoría y jurisprudencia de los derechos sociales: tendencias emergentes en el derecho internacional y comparado
In: Derecho y sociedad
En las últimas dos décadas, los derechos sociales han pasado a ocupar un lugar protagónico en la jurisprudencia y las políticas públicas alrededor del mundo. Este libro constituye el primer balance sistemático sobre el tema, sus autores son reconocidos juristas y analistas internacionales, que ofrecen una documentación rigurosa y crítica sobre casi dos mil fallos y decisiones de más de treinta jurisdicciones nacionales e internacionales con un amplio rango de temas: desde litigios sobre el acceso a la salud hasta sentencias sobre el derecho a la educación, pasando por casos que involucran a poblaciones especialmente vulnerables como los habitantes de barrios informales, las minorías étnicas, la población indigente y los campesinos sin tierra. Al ofrecer un completo panorama global de los derechos sociales, este libro interviene en los debates teóricos y prácticos sobre la aplicación judicial de esos derechos y se convierte en una obra de referencia para estudiantes, profesores, jueces, hacedores de políticas públicas, activistas y ciudadanos interesados en la equidad social. -- Contracarátula

Taming the Digital Leviathan: Automated Decision-Making and International Human Rights
Enthusiasm abounds about the potential of artificial intelligence to automate public decision-making. The rise of machine learning and computational text analysis together with the proliferation of digital platforms has raised the prospect of "robo-judging" and "robo-administrators." From a human rights perspective, the reaction has been mixed, and on balance negative. Optimists herald the possibilities of democratizing legal services and making decision-making more predictable and efficient. Critics warn, however, of the specter of new forms of social control, arbitrariness, and inequality. This essay examines the concerns over the turn to automation from the perspective of two international human rights: the rights to social security and a fair trial. It argues that while the critiques deserve a full hearing, they should be evidence-based, informed by an understanding of "technological systems," and cognizant of the trade-offs between human and machine failure.

Lost in Transformation? The Politics of the Sustainable Development Goals

ISSN: 1747-7093
On September 25, 2015, the world's leaders adopted a new suite of development goals—the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—that are to guide policymakers for the next decade and a half. On first inspection, the declaration is breathtaking in its scope and ambition. Constituted by a list of 17 goals and 169 targets, it is arguably the most comprehensive global agenda adopted since the UN Charter in 1945. Its thematic repertoire ranges from poverty, health, education, and inequality, to energy, infrastructure, climate change, marine resources, peace, security, and good governance. The UN Secretary-General welcomed the SDGs by praising their "universal, transformative, and integrated agenda" that heralded a "historic turning point for our world."
