8 - Conclusion

Summary

This chapter concludes the book. It stresses that with the global rise of constitutionalised and justiciable social rights, and the corresponding proliferation of social rights litigation, courts require guidance on how to enforce these rights. It summarises the proposed trust-based framework and how it addresses the drawbacks of existing frameworks for social rights enforcement. The chapter also discusses the framework’s implications, noting that the framework is not limited per se to social rights enforcement but may be applied, with appropriate modifications, to other areas of human rights law.
