Title:
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS |
| Date:

- 10/27/2006 |
| The idea that health care, education, and a basic livelihood are rights, for which institutions and public officials should be held accountable, is increasingly influential in international development. Many international and bilateral development agencies now regularly use human rights treaties and covenants in their development work. At the country level, the majority of national constitutions make health care or education a right of citizens. On October 27, 2006, the World Bank’s Development Research Group (DECRG) held a seminar titled “Social and Economic Rights: What Difference Do They Make?” to examine how these rights are affecting development outcomes. |
