‘Poverty, as Nelson Mandela said, is one of the most devastating assaults on human dignity. This timely and topical Handbook considers poverty as the human rights violation that it is, and explores the solutions offered by human rights law. It does so in a well-conceived structure and brings together insights from all the top researchers in the field. This second edition of the book will undoubtedly become a key reference for many scholars and practitioners like the first edition. A must-read for policy makers, researchers and all others interested in strengthening human dignity across the world.’
