Debt is a barrier to operationalizing human rights economies. The debt crisis is also a human rights crisis. Austerity measures impact the most marginalised communities. Investing in #HumanRights makes good economic sense - Sakshi Rai, UN Human Rights. SALDRU AFD_en 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 ERSA

“How do we build an economy that dignifies 60 million people after 300 years of colonial and apartheid rule? We should be talking about a kind of economy that will ultimately vindicate our constitutional aspirations.” - Judge Dennis Davis, UCT Law School. SALDRU AFD_en 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 ERSA

States are obliged to use Maximum Available Resources to progressively realise economic, social & cultural rights.... The human rights & economic worlds seem to operate in parallel universes ... The best bridge is #HumanRights - Abigail Noko, @UN Human Rights Southern Africa Regional Rep. SALDRU
