Are social rights as fundamental as civil liberties?
I've worked in humanitarian aid for years, and I keep hitting the same wall: when we talk about universal human rights, do economic and social rights like housing and healthcare actually belong on the same list as civil liberties? I've seen governments cherry-pick one set to dodge the other, but families struggling to stay housed don't care about the legal theory. If we can't deliver basics to everyone, should we still call them rights, or are they just aspirations we dress up in UN language?
