(g)
Interrelationship between civil and political
rights and economic and social rights and its
impact
Conclusion Cont…..
Part IV contains many economic and social
rights and thus imposes an obligation/duty on
state
Generally speaking Part IV is made not
enforceable as its implementation would
depend on financial capabilities of the state
If the state has capacity to implement Part IV,
it is enforced as Part III
At times primacy is given to part IV over Part
III to realize socio economic justice found in
the Preamble
