| dc.description.abstract | A new social contract is emerging in law, which has and will benefit both the poor and the wealthy, providing all with a dignified life. This new social contract is both global and national, thus accepting critiques of the unacceptable face of globalisation by transforming it into universalism with compassion and respect for identity. The impact of international human rights law upon social contract theory is that it assists in translating moral and social demands into legal entitlements, and moves socio-economic rights from the relatively unhampered political discretion to a transparent and accountable process, where decisions must be justified in a mutually acceptable legal language and weighting. | en_US |
