Lovely dinner with the #ESRANSwan crew

Given that austerity threatens to extend beyond the current crisis, this is no something that can be put off any longer #ESRANSwan

Human rights do not rely on a specific economic model. It's possible to be capitalist and esr compliant. #ESRANSwan

By rescuing the crisis by States and socialisation of debt has led to retrenchment of neoliberal model. #ESRANSwan

Identifying the limits of the ICESCR engaging with the crisis. Change from structural adjustment to austerity #ESRANSwan

Frustrated with the state of human rights scholarship and it's focus on courts - need to move to policy, budgets, etc. #ESRANSwan

Failure of human rights in aftermath of economic crisis really should cause us to reflect on the human rights project. #ESRANSwan

This is based on her inaugural lecture @UoN_Law #ESRANSwan

And now we have @commentator01 discussing her paper on human rights in times of economic crisis. #ESRANSwan

Human rights accountability also allows for participation. #ESRANSwan

Whereas other disciplines make policy suggestions, #righttofood comes with legal enforceability and countermajoritarian function #ESRANSwan

Technical debates and neoliberalism can be moderated by this accountability function. #ESRANSwan

Pare right down to accountability function of #righttofood. Relying on Sen - this is not about availability but accountability. #ESRANSwan

Followed by report from @JustFairUK and the media latched onto #violation which led to polarisation of debate. #ESRANSwan

First report that had #humanrights language contained within it, but no mention of #righttofood explicitly. #ESRANSwan

... In the aftermath. #ESRANSwan

And the #righttofood narrative has been limited. #ESRANSwan

The food banks have been very public - charity and voluntary help, and collection points in supermarkets #ESRANSwan

2013 One million children and 3.5 million adults not adequately fed. This is more than #foodbanks #ESRANSwan

This issue of food poverty is not something that happened before the financial crisis. But has been exacerbated by the crisis #ESRANSwan

... Approach. #ESRANSwan

Setting out his reasons for approaching the issue of food banks from a rights perspective. #righttofood #ESRANSwan

And after coffee we now have @btcwarwick talking about realising a right to food in the UK #ESRANSwan

Will ECtHR look beyond its civil and political origins and start focusing on international #esr observations and comments #ESRANSwan

Infant from one hospital to another than is beyond a simple error of judgement. Rather than a structural problem in health sys. #ESRANSwan

The quantity and state of resources in public hospital was unsatisfactory. #ESRANSwan

Court seems to be finding the argument for the provision and management of health care services under article 2. #ESRANSwan

Culmination of reporting procedure and the finding of a violation. #ESRANSwan

Creates pool of information that can used for elaboration of children's right to health. Under-studied at the moment. #ESRANSwan

Why can environmental impact assessments be useful? Legally binding system within EU #ESRANSwan
