Summary
Socio-Economic Rights: A Balancing Act in Times of Crisis and Normality
This groundbreaking book explores the underexamined scope of Article 4 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), which governs permissible restrictions on these rights. It provides recommendations for developing a legal framework that promotes the balanced protection of ESCRs during normality and crisis alike.

What They're Saying
Critics 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
