Sandile Ngcobo

Justice S. Sandile Ngcobo, Retired Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa and STIAS fellow, will present a talk with the title: Democracy, Separation of Powers and the Adjudication of Socioeconomic Rights Abstract The main objection to judicial enforcement of socioeconomic rights turns largely on the undesirability of including socioeconomic rights in a constitution enforceable by the judiciary which, objectors contend, is anti-democratic.
