Abstract

Social rights, on the one hand, acquire special importance in difficult economic situations. On the other hand, their implementation largely depends on the state of the economy and financial resources, so international documents provide for the possibility of gradual implementation of basic social obligations. The lack of material security may be a factor not only constraining the development of social guarantees, but also limiting the social obligations of States. The exception is the minimum basic obligations that are subject to immediate and unconditional fulfillment. Legislative decisions on the restriction of social rights or the adoption of retrogressive measures allow for a greater degree of discretion of States. The article clarifies the interpretation of the category of “vulnerable groups of persons” and its applicability to determine the positive obligations of the state in the social sphere.

Keywordssocial rights, influence of economic factor, limit of exercise of social rights, vulnerable groups.
