This comprehensive and groundbreaking work delves into the principles of adjudication to promote accountability for violations of Economic and Social Rights. Economic and Social Rights, which are closely intertwined with issues of social justice, have a profound impact on the most vulnerable segments of society. By examining the case of the United Kingdom, the book draws on international experience and comparative practices, including progressive reform at the devolved subnational level, to showcase the potential reach of Economic and Social Rights when they are given legal standing in domestic settings, aligning with their status in international law.

The book explores various models of incorporating rights into domestic law and highlights existing justiciability mechanisms for their enforcement. It also presents future models for development, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of social rights adjudication. Through the application of deliberative democracy theory, the book develops principles of adjudication that address some of the critiques associated with social rights adjudication.

This book is of immense value to a wide range of stakeholders, including legal practitioners, judges, civil servants, researchers, academics, and students specializing in human rights law, comparative constitutional law, and deliberative democracy theory. Its insights and recommendations will contribute to the ongoing discussions and efforts to promote and protect Economic and Social Rights on a global scale.
