Traditionally, the principle was taken to mean that no right was greater in importance and in implementation. It suggests that through interpretation, the application of one right is capable of strengthening the application of another right. Writing extensively on interdependence Scott highlights that the concept has been developed not for the sake of rights but for the sake of people entitled to the rights as the values ‘related to the full development of personhood cannot be protected and nurtured in isolation.’23 He concludes that interdependence mainly take two forms, namely, organic interdependence and related interdependence.24 Organic interdependence makes reference to when one right forms part of another right and as a result the protection of the core right would entail protection of the other right.25 He further distinguishes organic interdependence into logical and effectivist conception, with the former meaning that the derivative right is a more specific form of the core right while the latter meaning the effectiveness of the core right depends on the derivative right.26 Under related interdependence two distinct rights are mutually reinforcing and therefore to protect one will indirectly result in the protection of the other. Several authors have written on the benefits of using the indirect approach to the protection of rights, which include the experience that often rights have benefited more at all levels of human rights systems through enforcement using indirect protection.27 Further, ‘unlike the typical socio-economic rights, the cross-cutting rights to equality, judicial protection and due process guarantees have been concretely 22 As above.
