Social Security of Person with Aids: Framework and Application and Non-Application of the Right A Case Study

Abstract

The need to protect everyone, not merely against grinding poverty, but also in the enjoyment of a reasonable standard of life, has gradually established itself as one of the supreme values of the modern states (Lloyd 1987). The state has a notion to protect its people. The state therefore must see to it that its people enjoy their rights and no right has been violated. To protect them from the adverse effect of life like poverty, the state established the right to social security. Human rights that protect and uphold the social security of individuals around the globe have been an issue of who gets more of the allocation of services and benefits provided and managed by the state versus the common view that everyone got to taste the acknowledged right to social security. However bias, the baseline of social security scheme in the present times therein lies on who deserves or non-deserving against the set guidelines considering the scarce resources each state has and the volume of the contribution its citizens give.The evolving problem that sifts awaiting benefits to each individual is the emergence of contribution from the gainfully employed and self-employed and the non-contribution, or the incapacity to contribute, of the unemployed and the vulnerable strata of the society that includes primarily the elderly and the disabled. Given the fact that globalization is widespread, "mounting acceptance throughout the world of human rights puts pressure on all countries to re-cast development policies and eliminate poverty." (Townsend 2007) Otherwise, the overall protection of each right, as stipulated in variant covenants and in international law, cannot reach its full realization and application.
