Recenzii
‘Professor Udombana has authored a profoundly in-depth contribution to the global conversation around socio-economic rights. Charged with intellectual rigour and scholarly passion, Socio-economic Rights in Africa is an essential reading on an oft-neglected aspect of development thought and praxis. I highly recommend it’.
– H.E. Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria
‘Professor Udombana is a leading and widely-read scholar on the African human rights system. In this latest addition to his impressive canons, he uses a broad brush to paint the legal landscape on Socio-economic Rights in Africa. The book is a rich resource for the human rights community’.

Descriere
Social and economic rights have hitherto been marginalised in mainstream legal and political discourses and treated as second-class citizens in the human rights family. In recent years, these rights are receiving increasing attention in law and politics, arguably because they raise existential questions on human security and dignity.
