Article 9 of the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights on the right to social security is the shortest article in the entire Covenant and for that reason alone highly abstract and vague. A comprehensive analysis of the article 9 is still lacking, not least because it is widely regarded as a Pandora's box better not to be opened.

Experience has shown that the quality of the state reporting procedure is greatly improved once the Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights has adopted a General Comment. Thus, it seems very desirable to close this gap. For the reason, an International Expert Workshop on the Right to Social Security was held in April 2005 at the German Institute for Human Rights, whose purpose was to highlight specific issues of the right to social security which should be addressed by the Committee when drafting a General Comment on article 9. The results of this workshop are published in this volume providing an insight into the current challenges on social security as a human right.

Industry Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen:

"... Der Blickwinkel ist international. Mehr, indem er das Interesse des Lesers auf sozialrechtliche Entwicklungen in einzelnen Weltgegenden ... lenkt, gewinnt die Betrachtung an Konkretheit und gerade dadurch an Tiefgang, Gewicht und Gestalt. ... Die Debatte um dieses Recht wird mit diesem Band nicht beendet. Aber es kommt ihm das grosse Verdienst zu, diese in Deutschland mit dem langst uberfalligen internationalen Blick eroeffnet zu haben ..." (Eberhard Eichenhofer, VSSR - Vierteljahresschrift fur Sozialrecht, 2007, Issue 2, S. 155 f.)
