About the Book

This groundbreaking book explores the under examined nature and scope of Article 4 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), which governs permissible restrictions on these rights.

Challenging the assumption that such limitations apply only during crises, it analyses their application in diverse contexts, from financial crises and public health emergencies, to situations of armed conflict. Through doctrinal and empirical analysis, the book offers a comprehensive examination of UN and state practice, highlighting the need for clarity, specificity and authenticity. It provides recommendations for developing a legal framework that promotes the optimal protection of ESCRs during normality and crisis alike.

Conclusion



About the Author :
Amanda Cahill-Ripley is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Liverpool, School of Law and Social Justice, UK.

Review :
‘An essential, insightful and rigorous study on limitations of socio-economic rights in crisis and normality—conceptually sharp, doctrinally vital.’ Ludovic Hennebel, Vice-President of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and Director of the Institute for International Humanitarian Studies, Law School of Aix-en-Provence ‘Human rights are not written with emergencies in mind. Yet we live at a time of multiple and overlapping crises. Amanda Cahill-Ripley provides a superb analysis of ESCR obligations in ever more ordinary extraordinary situations. This book is necessary today like never before.’ Koldo Casla, University of Essex
