RODARTE LEDEZMA, Laura Eugenia. Effectiveness of social rights in Spain. Rev. latinoam. derecho soc [online]. 2020, n.31, pp.55-93.  Epub Nov 01, 2021. ISSN 2448-7899.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487899e.2020.37.14863.

The basis for social rights is human dignity and, because of it the Constitutional Court of Spain is vested with the power to interpret social rights in a broad and progressive manner. Therefore, it is necessary to abandon the main doctrinal assumptions that tend to justify an exclusionary and limited protection of social rights.

Keywords : human dignity; social rights; progressiveness; effectiveness.
