Access to Social Justice: Effective Remedies for Social Rights

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

This book proposes a conception of social justice according to international human rights law. Social rights include everyday rights such as housing, food, fuel and social security.

Drawing on extensive research with frontline practitioners, the book frames access to social justice as a journey that should end with the realisation of an effective remedy. It highlights discourses that marginalise and disempower rights holders and reclaims the narrative around social rights as legal rights.

This is a unique contribution to our understanding of access to social justice from a social rights perspective complete with key recommendations for policy and practice.
