Economic and social human rights in the Islamic Shariah and international covenants (right to work and social security as a model)

Abstract

Economic, social and cultural rights include the rights to adequate food, adequate housing, education, health, social security, participation in cultural life, access to water and sanitation, and employment.
The Islamic sharia took care of the circumstances of all people, especially the poor and underprivileged workers, warned the rulers and the rich against hegemony and domination and deprived these groups of the right to live in dignity, and stressed the alleviation of the misery, spending and honouring the workers, the poor and the needy. The affirmation of Islamic law was based on the right of workers to have access to suitable employment and their right to spend the state on them when needed.
The provisions of international covenants and conventions stipulate these rights in such a way as to ensure a dignified life for the worker at work and after retirement from work, and sufficient to live in the absence of work.
The importance of research lies in the increasing infringement by employers of these rights at the present time, which makes the affirmation of the obligation to respect them important, and requires specialists and international organizations to defend these rights and disseminate their content on a global scale.
