Democracia, ciudadanía y promoción y protección de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales

The approach based on human rights makes it possible to carry out a diagnosis of the main problems that democracies face today and in the future. Given the close connection between democracy and the achievement of human rights, particularly economic, social and cultural rights, addressing these difficulties seems decisive to guarantee them to the entitled subjects. The condition of citizenship is decisive to be able to achieve such rights, hence the definition of citizenship is, once again, a cause for important reflection. To a large extent, participation is a key component of citizenship, especially to participate in all those processes, not only electoral, but also legislative, including budgetary, that may affect the protection and guarantee of human rights.
