Resources on Taxation and Human Rights

By humanrightsathome

Looking ahead to April 15 . . . or rather, April 18 this year (and April 19 in Massachusetts)?  Of course, it’s tax season in the U.S. 

The Center for Economic and Social Rights has pulled together an impressive collection of resources on taxes and human rights, including material from the International Bar Association and the UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty.  Additional insights are available from the video of a 2014 conference at McGill University on tax justice and human rights and the recent essay from the IBA’s Human Rights Law Committee on taxation as a human rights issue.

It’s fascinating reading, but don’t get so absorbed that you forget to file!
