This chapter explores the conformity of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) with two key socio-economic rights: the right of the child to health and the right of the child to an adequate standard of living. Space does not permit an examination of other socio-economic rights of the child that arise in the asylum context, such as the right of the child to education. It is submitted that the methodology developed for assessing the conformity of the CEAS with the socio-economic rights of the child. As is the case for the rights discussed in the previous chapter, these rights also fall under the general rubric of CRC but it is appropriate to deal with them as a discrete category. It is well established, if increasingly open to challenge, that there is a difference between the legal obligation inherent in most socio-economic rights, as compared with most civil and political rights.
