- Abstract
The end of the Second World War (WW II) illuminated the new hope of a world order that tumultuously recognised human rights and the inherent dignity of all humans. States now recognise that improved human rights mechanisms and their enjoyment; particularly socio-economic rights, are dynamics consistent with the dignity of humans under international human rights law. However, their observance and promotion are traditionally predicated on the states' discretion. Thus, it is pivotal to have a concerted push towards adopting common measures that put these rights on the frontlines of states' economic blueprints. Civil society organisations in partnership with National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) would play a central role in realising this global effort. This article aims to argue that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) could play a crucial role in fostering resilience within national boundaries and the promotion of socio-economic rights as key indices in reshaping the economic landscape of states in the twenty-first century, especially in states like South Africa and Nigeria.
