Abstract
This chapter analyzes two social rights that are practiced on an individual basis: (1) the right to education and (2) the right to healthcare. It first describes the doctrinal nature of these rights, as well as how these relate to organizations’ ability to secure their enforcement. It then presents results from a global statistical analysis, which reveal that countries that constitutionalize the right to education and the right to healthcare do not dedicate more public funds to education and healthcare than countries without the right. In addition, this chapter presents a case study on the right to healthcare in Colombia, which reveals the difficulties inherent in enforcing the right to healthcare, even in the face of a highly activist judiciary.
