N2 - The implementation of economic, social and cultural rights has received considerable attention in recent years. There are several controversies that are addressed in these debates, and not least the issue of how to define and allocate resources for such implementation. This article argues that this debate may be one-dimensional in concentrating uniquely on the financial aspects of resources.
