Indeks Pembangunan Manusia dan Pengukuran Hak-Hak Ekonomi, Sosial dan Budaya

Abstract

The biggest  challenge  for human rights defenders and decision  makers  is applying sometimes   abstract  concepts from economic, social  and cultural rights  to public policy.  The author  argues  for the measurement   of economic, social  and cultural  rights  as a means of monitoring   and verifying  national development  outcomes, both from the perspective  of claim holders  (communities)  and duty bearers (governments).   The paper describes attempts to apply the human development  index and other related  indexes to development policies  and approaches,  alongside  the measurement   of economic, social  and cultural  rights.
