DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Justice Albie Sachs\, formerly from the\nConstitut
 ional Court of South Africa.\nJustice Albie Sachs was appointed to the\nCo
 nstitutional Court of South Africa by Nelson Mandela in\n1994 and retired 
 in October 2009. Justice Sachs is recognized for\nthe development of the d
 ifferentiation between constitutional\nrights in three different degrees o
 r generations of rights: from\nclassic civil and political rights to housi
 ng\, health\, education\,\nwelfare and the rights of future generations. I
 n this lecture\,\nJustice Sachs will discuss the enforcement of social\, e
 conomic and\nenvironmental rights in the judicial context. The key problem
 \nregarding the enforcement of these rights is not necessarily a\nquestion
  of judicial legitimacy. The real difficulty is most often\nthe institutio
 nal capacity of courts to enforce rights. Courts are\ninstitutionally unsu
 ited to take decisions on houses\, hospitals and\nschools. However\, court
 s are also inherently concerned with\nquestions of human dignity and oppre
 ssion. According to Justice\nSachs 'both freedom and bread are necessary f
 or the all-round human\nbeing. Instead of undermining each other\, they ar
 e related and\ninterdependent.' The fundamental right to human dignity und
 erlies\nthe enforcement of social\, economic and environmental rights.\nJu
 stice Sachs will discuss how courts have and can enforce these\nrights in 
 a manner consistent with human dignity as well as the\ninstitutional limit
 ations of the judiciary.\nThis lecture is organised by the Centre de Reche
 rche en Droit\nPublic and the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ School of Environment\, in collaborat
 ion with\nthe Centre for International Sustainable Development Law. For mo
