These rights include the right to education, right to work in decent and healthy environment, right to emergency health care, right to adequate standard of living and so on. These are also known as Positive Rights as the State has to undertake affirmative action in order to ensure the same. As these rights are mostly based on the availability and exploitation of resources, the concept of Sustainable Development must be given due regards.  Sustainable Development implicates the management of resources by the present generation in such a way so that the future generations can also enjoy. It is the tool by which Socio-Economic Rights of the people can be secured.
