Interview · La Razón
Extreme poverty is a direct violation of human rights
The interview introduces the mandate’s initial priorities: making people in extreme poverty visible and strengthening guarantees for economic, social and cultural rights.
La Razón speaks with Elena Díaz Galán following her appointment as Special Rapporteur and reviews the main challenges posed by poverty as a multidimensional reality.
The interview discusses the need for effective mechanisms requiring States to respect social rights, the importance of working with civil society, and the impact that armed conflicts and sanctions can have on the most vulnerable people.
