Subject: [HRAA] New COHRE Publication - Litigating ESC Rights: Legal
Practitioners Dossier
Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE) has released a new
publication entitled: Litigating Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights: Legal Practitioners Dossier.
The 300 page COHRE Legal Practitioners Dossier provides a user-
friendly but comprehensive reference guide for lawyers and advocates
wanting to plead economic, social and cultural rights (`ESC rights')
in courts and before other adjudicatory bodies. It will also be of
considerable
interest to those carrying out academic research in relation to ESC rights.
Part I contains an extensive overview of the legal issues commonly
faced by those seeking to litigate rights, examination of the right
to legal aid for rights litigation, in-depth analysis of four ESC
rights and a special case study on the economic and social rights of
children.
Parts II and III provide guidelines on using international and
regional human rights procedures while Part IV summarises many of the
leading cases in the area and provides contact details for those
working in the field.
The book will serve as a valuable resource for any litigation effort
that seeks to protect the victims of violations of ESC rights.
The Legal Practitioners Dossier can be viewed & downloaded in pdf format at
