The 'three-tier obligation' framework of human rights (RESPECT, PROTECT, FULFIL) was articulated by:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A.
1. The TYPOLOGY of three-tier State obligations was articulated by Henry Shue in his 'Basic Rights' (1980).
2. The framework was developed by the UN Special Rapporteur Asbjørn Eide (1989) and adopted by the CESCR:
3. (i) OBLIGATION TO RESPECT — do not interfere directly with enjoyment of the right;
4. (ii) OBLIGATION TO PROTECT — prevent third parties from interfering with enjoyment of the right;
5. (iii) OBLIGATION TO FULFIL — facilitate, promote, provide (positive measures to ensure enjoyment).
6. CESCR General Comments No. 12 (Food, 1999), No. 13 (Education, 1999), No. 14 (Health, 2000) apply this framework.
7. Hence option B is correct.
