Abstract

When we talk about human rights violations, most often we cite the right to life, prohibition of torture, freedom of religion, or freedom of expression. Why do we skip economic, social and cultural rights, like right to work, education or right to benefits of science and culture? Do we see any of these as our fundamental right? Many perceives them as a part of policy, political views, or even welfare state concept. However, the truth is that economic, social and cultural rights are, at least in part, as important as civil and political rights. In this article, we deconstruct the concepts and illustrate, which parts of these rights might be justiciable.
