Details

This book delivers an in-depth doctrinal analysis of the right to science under Article 15 ICESCR, focusing on the novel concept of its core content, as well as on its rights holders and duty bearers.

Monika Plozza challenges the entrenched dichotomy between economic, social and cultural rights on the one hand and civil and political rights on the other, demonstrating that the right to science is fully justiciable. Situating it within the wider framework of international human rights law, she traces its connections with a broad range of related rights. In doing so, this book equips scholars, practitioners, and policymakers with the legal tools needed to invoke and implement the right to science in judicial and policy contexts. Timely and rigorous, it establishes the right to science as a vital legal framework for confronting global challenges ranging from climate change and disinformation to artificial intelligence.

This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
