| Summary: | "This OSE Research paper reviews the austerity measures adopted by a number of Member States, and discusses their impact on certain economic and social rights, including education, health, pensions and work. It then elicits the reaction of international human rights bodies which denounced these infringements, while comparing the dynamism of the national constitutional courts to the timidity of the European courts and exploring the question of liability in cases of violations of fundamental rights. In conclusion, Dalila Ghailani argues that in recent years, the importance attached to human rights has declined together with state budgets, but that, unlike national budgets, these rights have not benefited from bail-out plans." |
