Abstract

To establish an orderly society, most governments provide fundamental human rights to their inhabitants. The economic, political and civic spheres are all included by these rights. However, how they are put into action is where the rubber meets the road. Even if the civil rights are enforceable in most of the nations, the enforceability of economic rights is a topic of contention till today. The subtleties of economic rights and how they are implemented inside the international legal system are explored in this paper through qualitative approach. It offers a comprehensive historical overview and delineates essential elements of economic rights, examining the legal frameworks under international law. The article delineates enforcement measures and observes the challenges of enforcing economic rights under international law, highlighting issues such as state sovereignty, fragmented legal frameworks, limited institutional capacity and the impacts of globalization and rapid technological change. Drawing on real-world examples, it demonstrates how both domestic reforms and international cooperation can address these challenges effectively. The article concludes by emphasizing the indispensability of a synergistic approach that integrates legal, technological and collaborative strategies to translate international commitments into practical, measurable outcomes in the realm of economic rights.
