Abstract

My aim is to enhance the judicial protection (the so-called 'justiciability') of social rights against lawmakers. For this purpose the article will demonstrate that the main arguments used against this enhancement either have conceptual nature but do not amount to a serious problem or do represent an obstacle but do not have really a conceptual nature. Once removed this hindrance, it will be possible to re-shape the structure of social rights e, accordingly, to suggest some judicial remedies - for example, that one coming from French law and known as astreintes -, to be viewed as natural consequence of the positivization of social justice in many contemporary constitutions.
