Just in relation to your comment on RBAs as incapable of providing people with jobs, housing etc., you must remember that ESCR (Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) and CPR (Civil and Political Rights) are interdependent. Thus our access to jobs, the right to housing, right to education and many more ESCR depends on whether or not we have CPR, namely the right to choice, right to freedom, right to equality and so on. Similarly, these CPR depend on ESCR for their implementation :) Otherwise, I must acknowledge that there was an excellent point made about our general dependence on the 'experts', courts and authorities to structure the human rights discourse. These participants only reflect a minority of the community, and rather, we should be in search of "local knowledge" that gives each individual a voice.
