Abstract
After more than half a century of existence of international human rights regimes, a differential degree of protection is still received by the so-called economic and social rights, when compared to the ones named civil and political. however, this article aims to show that certain strategies used within the Inter-american human Rights system, IAHRS, have proved to be relatively successful for granting judiciable character to economic and social rights. moreover, the paper discusses alternative paths that could be tried in order to obtain an improved judicial protection for these rights within the americas.
