Our ESRAN workshop is today! Some detail on the papers below, as we go through the day:

For a report published today, @amnestyuk.bsky.social asked my colleague Lyle Barker and me to review the evidence about the state of the UK’s social security in relation to international human rights law. I wrote this blogpost for @uk.theconversation.com about it. theconversation.com/the-uks-soci...

...And that's all for the day. We're very grateful indeed to colleagues at @EssexHRC and @EssexLawSchool for kindly hosting the workshop! And especially @Judith_Mesquita, @noconnor90 and @koldo_casla for the organisational labour.

And now @koldo_casla giving us a taster of his new book project. He's addressing the 'clash' between social rights and property rights, and how social rights must address property in order to advance its aims.

And our last (not least) panel of the day is on Housing and Property. Starting with @Pnm_shkr who is addressing a rights based approach to housing, against the backdrop of the Social Housing Reg Act and the Grenfell Tower fire.

Next up is Katie Morris, who is addressing the consumer/ cultural acceptability element of the right to food. Tracing the practice of the CESCR and the ECtHR (incl through prison cases) and suggesting ways we could better define and vindicate the right.

Having lunched, we are now considering the right to food. First up is @cjames_law. She's looking at the right to food and supermarkets. In particular thinking about how the minimum core and what obligations the UK govt might have.

Last paper before lunch is @btcwarwick on the role of civil society at the UN treaty bodies - who is reporting, from where, and on who? And what does that mean for the legitimacy of the system?

Next up is @PhilipOamen's paper! He's examining duties of international cooperation in relation to taxation and bringin a TWAIL critique to bear. In particular he's focussing on the state of play of ESR in African countries.

We're back with a panel on resources and acountability. First is @AzadehChalabi. She's presenting on an integrated rights based approach climate litigation, and details the various levels/ layers of harm and obligation that can be litigation targets.

Third is @StefAngeleri. Asking if states are unwilling to provide full health care to migrants, then does a 'Primary H/C' (Alma Ata) approach provide some ways that we can prioritise and define a minimum core? With lots of qual data from Colombia.

Our second paper is from @lukedgraham. A timely reexamination of inhuman and degrading treatment in the context of the administrative state. Taking IDT away from 'classic' criminal contexts. He's using the often cruel benefit sanctions system as an example to illustrate his args

First up, @SahgalRishika who is examining what exactly happens once we start using poverty as a ground in equality law. What are the successes and failures? Case studies in SA and India.

And we're off with our workshop @EssexHRC, @EssexLawSchool! It's a remarkable 24th ESRAN workshop, and it's worth a minute to reflect on the strength and depth of ESR scholarship since/ through the network's founding.

Great opportunity to present your work on ESR and get feedback from a very friendly community! Abstracts due Nov 2023, not 2024 x.com/ESRANUKI/statu…

Looking forward to receiving abstracts for the next ESRAN workshop @Uni_of_Essex !! Do get in touch with @Judith_Mesquita if you have any questions about the venue or the network coordinators for general queries.

Here @rjjoconnell sheds light on the evolving interpretation of the Convention by the European Court of Human Rights. Recognizing the need for inclusive and participatory practices, and emphasizing the importance of addressing key problems in our evolving democracy.

The Common Travel Area (CTA) plays a significant role in facilitating access to social rights, including the right to work for Irish citizens in the UK. @noconnor90 explores the limitations and weaknesses of the CTA framework as an employment law instrument. #ESRANUKI

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented restrictions on rights worldwide. @Lforman exploration sheds light on the practical and conceptual gaps in protecting economic, social, and cultural rights during public health emergencies. #ESRANUKI #RightsProtection #COVID19

Exploring the nuances of constitutional environmental duties, @LovleenBhullar paper challenges the notion that these duties are merely symbolic. Understanding their real legal significance and their impact on the realization of rights and State performance. #ESRANUKI

Uncovering the complexities of the obligation to protect economic, social, and cultural rights in @MrTomPeck research. Learning about prevention measures, resource allocation, remedies, and more, shaping the evaluation and protection of rights by states. #ESRANUKI #HumanRights

Our @ESRANUKI programme for the day here at @bhamlaw

Do constitutional texts merely pay lip service to 'the people'? @SahgalRishika's upcoming book explores the transformative power of enabling people to interpret their rights. Challenging the centrality of institutions and bringing people to the heart of constitutional engagement

"Amplifying voices often unheard" 📢 @ESRANUKI seeks to use its scholarship to champion the SER rights of marginalized groups in the UK and Ireland.🇬🇧🇮🇪 #ESRANUKI

What if housing, healthcare, and education were recognized as human rights in UK and Irish law? Together, the UK and Ireland could be a society that uplifts its citizens and provides equal opportunities for all. #InclusiveSociety #ESRANUKI

The United Kingdom and Ireland give utmost priority to economic and social rights. By recognizing the significance of these rights, we can foster inclusive societies that ensure no one is left behind. #EconomicRights #SocialJustice #ESRANUKI

Why is the topic of economics and social rights significant?
