| dc.description | This is the third in AI Ireland’s series of three reports entitled Bringing ESC Rights Home, aimed at strengthening the protection of ESC rights in Ireland.
This report is designed to be a compendium of information useful to the Government in order to assist it in ensuring that its economic policy, particularly the budget, is in line with and reflects its economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights obligations.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of ESC rights. Chapter 2 outlines the obligations of the state under the ICESCR. Chapter 3 is primarily directed at civil society organisations and gives an overview of budget analysis frameworks. AI Ireland is grateful to the Free Legal Advice Centres (FLAC)5 for contributing to Chapter 3. Chapter 4 outlines guidance from the CESCR, human rights bodies and international experts to assist states in the protection and realisation of ESC rights. Considering that a priority for AI is strengthening the legal protection of ESC rights, Chapter 5 considers the accountability role that courts have played with regard to states’ policy responses to the economic crisis and how courts can engage with the budgetary process whilst at the same time respecting the separation of powers between the different branches of government.
The report ends by making a number of recommendations on how a human rights based approach could be adopted in economic policy making, particularly the budget, and how greater protection can be afforded to ESC rights in Ireland.
An Annex to this report contains an overview of the Irish budgetary process and cycle. | en |
