Olivier De Schutter & Kate Pickett propose raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy to improve well-being in unequal countries. https://t.co/y5GnCQSgNT

Strikes me that the focus is again on the ECHR, when the right to healthy environment has been recognised by the European Committee of Social Rights. This once again demonstrates the need to shed light on the ECHR's sister treaty, the European Social Charter! #ESC @coe

[Andrew Cutting @andrew_cutting]

Interesting: The right to a healthy #environment must be embedded in Europe’s #HumanRights system, write 3 current and previous @UN rapporteurs👇

Demanding that academic research have "impact" is regressive and just wrong. It ends up reducing the societal relevance of research to offering solutions: "Be operational ... or disappear".

📜 Now is the time for legal recognition of our everyday human rights in the UK. These rights are indispensable to an effective democracy.

“We have a completely unregulated rent market; it’s the Wild West”. Landlords are “driving up costs and causing misery to everyone”. Govt could still “reverse all this by introducing rent control”. “As a matter of law, we’ve taken breaks off in UK”.

⚖️ What do our everyday human rights have to do with democracy?

Democracy empowers us to participate in life, but we need our everyday rights to provide the conditions and means to act out our life plans. @avolou

🟰On this day 14 years ago the Equality Act came into force in Britain.

⚖️ However part of this, the socio-economic duty, which would require public bodies to consider socio-economic inequality, was never brought into force. 1/5
