Economic, social and cultural rights and their dependence on the economic growth paradigm: Evidence from the ICESCR system

Abstract: In light of the expanding critical academic literature on the social and ecological limits to a growth-based paradigm, this article investigates the ties between economic, social and cultural rights (ESC rights) and economic growth in the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR).
