BUDGETING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS DURING COVID-19
This fact sheet, published by the Institute for Economic Justice, SECTION27, and the Center for Economic and Social Rights, examines the South African government's obligation to use the 'maximum available resources' to protect social and economic rights during the COVID-19 pandemic. It contrasts the recommendations of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) with the government's actual fiscal responses, arguing that austerity measures and insufficient revenue mobilization have undermined the rights to healthcare, education, and social security.
