Abstract

ROSSI, Julieta  and  ABRAMOVICH, Víctor. The protection of economic , social and cultural rights in Article 26 of the American Convention on Human Rights. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2007, vol.9, n.spe, pp.34-53. ISSN 0124-0579.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest an interpretation of article 26 of the American Convention of Human Rights which allows the protection of certain economic, social and cultural rights within the Inter-American System. This interpretation seeks to mediate between those positions which consider article 26 as a non-operative rule, and those which regard it as the key to the full protection of those rights. Finally, authors try to establish the list of the rights that article 26 protects.

Keywords : economic; social and cultural rights; Inter-American System and human rights; article 26 of the American convention of human rights.
