Abstract:
|
Using a social justice (human rights) approach, the paper will tackle the complex relationship between poverty and human rights as a violation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (hereinafter ICESCR). It will uncover the extent to which Canada's international (economic) human rights obligations and norms influence judicial interpretation of the Charter and the scope to which such human rights are protected domestically. Are there realistic legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks to assist in alleviating and eventually ending poverty in Canada? Are current programs and policies helping or hindering the marginalized? Notwithstanding its duty abroad in terms of alleviating poverty in developing nations, Canada must set an example as a 'developed' nation in adhering to its obligations domestically under the ICESCR. Giving the rising poverty rates within a developed nation such as Canada, does it truly have the capacity to remain a world leader? What are Canada's influential effects on least developed nations? Can Canada realistically sustain its image as a world leader in 'leading' developing nations towards socio-economic successes? Conclusion(s): A borderless (inter)national community of 'states'?(R)evolution or moral universalism? The paper will focus on the interrelationship(s) between academia and real life policy processes with respect to the international protection, monitoring and enforcement of human rights. ================================================= |
