The book explores the marginalization of socio-economic rights within the broader human rights framework, likening their treatment to that of Cinderella. It examines the reluctance in constitutional democracies to recognize and enforce these rights, often citing concerns about conflicts with the separation of powers doctrine. By addressing the tensions between judicial enforcement and democratic principles, the author challenges prevailing attitudes and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of human rights.
