Summary
The debate around the international framework for HRtWS is permeated by challenges and endorsements from United Nations member states and civil society. Such a debate has implications both as to what precisely the content of the rights are and what the nature of countries’ obligations related to such rights is, as well as how these should be concretely realized in practical terms.
