What the UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies Tell Us about Economic Inequalities and Human Rights: An Empirical Analysis of Twenty Years of Practice

Economic inequalities are increasingly prominent in public debates – from Thomas Piketty’s seminal Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Piketty 2014) and the subsequent creation of the World Inequality Database (Wid.World n.d.), to civil society reports such as that of Oxfam (Oxfam International 2019). In addition, major social movements of the last decade, including Tunisia’s 2011 revolution (Srebernik 2014) and the rise to power of demagogic leaders such as Donald Trump (Shiller 2016), have been attributed, at least in part, to economic inequalities.
