Book excerpt: 'Poverty itself is a violation of numerous basic human rights.' (Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner on Human Rights) The idea that freedom from poverty is a basic human right that gives rise to moral and legal obligations of governments and other actors has received increased international attention in recent years. Mary Robinson, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has pushed the international agenda on poverty and human rights forward by characterizing extreme poverty as one of the key human rights problems that the world faces. The recognition of poverty as a human rights issue is also increasingly reflected in the work of international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and of campaigning organizations such as Oxfam, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International. In Poverty and Human Rights Vizard analyses the importance of the work of the Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen for contemporary debates about poverty and human rights. Bringing together perspectives from ethics, economics, and international law, Vizard provides a detailed and concise analysis of Sen's contributions and examines the ways in which his work has promoted cross-fertilization and integration across traditional disciplinary divides. She demonstrates that Sen has made a major contribution to the development of an 'interdisciplinary bridge' between human rights and theoretical and empirical economics, and to the establishment of poverty as a human rights issue. Vizard demonstrates that Sen's work has deepened and expanded human rights discourse in important and influential ways. In ethics, Sen is shown to have challenged the exclusion of poverty, hunger, and starvation from the characterization of fundamental freedoms and human rights, and to have contributed to the development of a framework in which authoritatively recognized international standards in this field can be meaningfully conceptualized and coherently understood. In economics, Sen is shown to have set out a far-reaching critique of standard frameworks that fail to take account of fundamental freedoms and human rights, and to have moved the economics and human rights agenda forward by pioneering the development of new paradigms and approaches which focus on these concerns.

Book Synopsis The Poverty of Rights by : Willem J. M. van Genugten
Download or read book The Poverty of Rights written by Willem J. M. van Genugten and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work brings together two issues that are not necessarily related: measures to reduce poverty, and respect for human rights. Most of the contributors are from Latin America, a continent characterized by terrible human rights violations and immense inequalities of wealth. Law, they argue, is no panacea for the intractable problem of poverty. But it can be an indispensable basis for social mobilization, which, in turn, can be strengthened by socially engaged and critical social science. Vigorous advocacy of compliance with international human rights norms and the inclusion of such standards in national legal frameworks can help to eradicate global poverty and social injustice. The contributions pay particular attention to the struggle of indigenous peoples and explore a range of questions including the relatively new notion of the right to development.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development Goals and Human Rights by : Markus Kaltenborn
Download or read book Sustainable Development Goals and Human Rights written by Markus Kaltenborn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the interplay of sustainable development and human rights from different perspectives including fight against poverty, health, gender equality, working conditions, climate change and the role of private actors. Each aspect is addressed from a more human rights-focused angle and a development-policy angle. This allows comparisons between the different approaches but also seeks to close gaps which would remain if only one perspective would be at the center of the discussions. Specifically, the book shows the strong connections between human rights and the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Already the preamble of this document explicitly states that "the 17 Sustainable Development Goals ... seek to realise the human rights of all". Moreover, several goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda correspond to already existing individual human rights obligations. The contributions of this volume therefore also address how the implementation of human rights and SDGs can reinforce each other, but also point to critical shortcomings of the different approaches.
Book Synopsis Poverty, the Right to Development and International Human Rights Law by : Irene Hadiprayitno
Download or read book Poverty, the Right to Development and International Human Rights Law written by Irene Hadiprayitno and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is a problem of international human rights law. Poverty degrades human dignity which is the main precept of human rights. Human rights exist to protect the human from any deprivation with a legal context. Therefore, poverty under international human rights law, can be seen as violation of civil, political, economic, cultural, and social rights, which requires a legal commitment of each of the responsible actors and entitles the poor people as the right holders to pursue their rights. This paper focuses on the human rights face of poverty by indicating the rights which are violated under such conditions and the resulting obligations of the duty bearers to eradicate poverty, both nationally and internationally. The paper concentrates particularly on human rights obligations under the United Nations on the basis of International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, and Declaration of the Right to Development.
Book Synopsis Ethical Issues in Poverty Alleviation by : Helmut P. Gaisbauer
Download or read book Ethical Issues in Poverty Alleviation written by Helmut P. Gaisbauer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the philosophical, and in particular ethical, issues concerning the conceptualization, design and implementation of poverty alleviation measures from the local to the global level. It connects these topics with the ongoing debates on social and global justice, and asks what an ethical or normative philosophical perspective can add to the economic, political, and other social science approaches that dominate the main debates on poverty alleviation. Divided into four sections, the volume examines four areas of concern: the relation between human rights and poverty alleviation, the connection between development and poverty alleviation, poverty within affluent countries, and obligations of individuals in regard to global poverty. An impressive collection of essays by an international group of scholars on one of the most fundamental issues of our age. The authors consider crucial aspects of poverty alleviation: the role of human rights; the connection between development aid and the alleviation of poverty; how to think about poverty within affluent countries (particularly in Europe); and individual versus collective obligations to act to reduce poverty. Judith Lichtenberg Department of Philosophy Georgetown University This collection of essays is most welcome addition to the burgeoning treatments of poverty and inequality. What is most novel about this volume is its sustained and informed attention to the explicitly ethical aspects of poverty and poverty alleviation. What are the ethical merits and demerits of income poverty, multidimensional-capability poverty, and poverty as nonrecognition? How important is poverty alleviation in comparison to environmental protection and cultural preservation? Who or what should be agents responsible for reducing poverty? The editors concede that their volume is not the last word on these matters. But, these essays, eschewing value neutrality and a retreat into technical mastery, challenge us to find fresh and reasonable answers to these urgent questions. David A. Crocker School of Public Policy University of Maryland
Book Synopsis Beyond the Rhetoric of Social Rights for the Poor by : Lucie Lamarche
Download or read book Beyond the Rhetoric of Social Rights for the Poor written by Lucie Lamarche and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christine Chinkin once asked, is poverty an international legal problem? Answering positively to this question, as Chinkin does,raises interesting questions for all those engaged in the international fight against poverty and extreme poverty. If poverty is a human rights issue, the quest for the eradication of poverty must be resolved accordingly to human rights substantive and institutional standards. Human rights can serve as a powerful qualifier for any strategy aimed at eradicating poverty. Human rights are not only about quantifying basic needs. They speak to the core of human dignity by asking for political, democratic, material and economic changes that respond and respect the standards set by human rights instruments. They call upon state and non-state actors to meet their obligations as duty-bearers to the benefit of rights-holders. Yet, in the land of poverty eradication strategies, everybody is not pulling in the same direction. If nobody nowadays denies the relevance of a human rights framework, some are tempted to play ”pick and choose” from the basket of interdependent human rights established by a set of human rights instruments, general principles of international law and jus cogens as well. This opportunistic approach to human rights is dangerous. First, it carries the risk that the politics of poverty priorizes certain rights and liberties at the cost of denying the principle of interdependency, embedded in the human rights theory. Secondly, it also could move the analysis of poverty as a human rights violation over to a parallel track where political institutions and actors do not pay sufficient attention to treaty body monitoring work. This paper wishes to explore such questions in an historical perspective, Part (1) will quickly survey the history (1970-2000) of the building of an institutional relationship between poverty and economic and social rights. Part (II) will illustrate how poverty and extreme poverty became a constant preoccupation of Treaty bodies' mechanisms, which found, in case after case, reasons to state and unfold the relation between human rights violations and poverty. Part (III) proposes that economic and social rights, and more specifically the CESCR (UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights), are at the core of the analysis suggesting that poverty is a human rights' violation. It also proposes a methodological approach to economic and social rights violations, which can support the claim of the interconnection between poverty, extreme poverty with economic and social rights violations. Part (IV) will focus on the multiple institutionalization requirements of those rights at the national and international levels. Finally, Part (V) will explore the question of States' responsibility toward non-State actors in an era of globalization and neoliberalism as far as the protection and the promotion of social rights are concerned. This document is aimed at showing the necessity, and the promising methodology, of paying specific attention to the requirements of economic and social rights in the contextof the fight to eradicate poverty. In addition, this paper hopes to contribute towards resolving the confusion between the political and the legal approaches that are nevertheless both required in order to eradicate poverty and extreme poverty.

This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Citizenship Commission was convened, under the leadership of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the auspices of NYU’s Global Institute for Advanced Study, to re-examine the spirit and stirring words of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The result – this volume – offers a 21st-century commentary on the original document, furthering the work of human rights and illuminating the ideal of global citizenship. What does it mean for each of us to be members of a global community? Since 1948, the Declaration has stood as a beacon and a standard for a better world. Yet the work of making its ideals real is far from over. Hideous and systemic human rights abuses continue to be perpetrated at an alarming rate around the world. Too many people, particularly those in power, are hostile to human rights or indifferent to their claims. Meanwhile, our global interdependence deepens. Bringing together world leaders and thinkers in the fields of politics, ethics, and philosophy, the Commission set out to develop a common understanding of the meaning of global citizenship – one that arises from basic human rights and empowers every individual in the world. This landmark report affirms the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and seeks to renew the 1948 enterprise, and the very ideal of the human family, for our day and generation.

Book excerpt: The adoption of a human rights approach to poverty reduction is that policies and institutions for poverty reduction should be based explicitly on the norms and values set out in the international law of human rights. It discusses United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), that of eradicating poverty, especially extreme poverty and hunger. It precisely deals with the draft guidelines of human rights approach to poverty reduction strategy. The challenge now is to demonstrate how the assets represented by human rights principles, a form of international public goods, can be of value in pursuing the overarching development objective, the eradication of poverty. Finally, it states that national and international strategies addressing poverty reduction need to take into account the human rights dimension of poverty and its remedies.
