In this paper, we adopt an experimentalist approach to determining the content of international human rights for assessing national mandatory work programmes for recipients of social assistance (MWPs). This approach implies going back and forth between law and experience in order to determine the better way to secure human rights in an ever-changing environment. After having identified six criteria for evaluating MWPs in the soft case-law of international bodies, we confront this emerging international human rights framework with an empirical study on MWP practices in the Netherlands. This confrontation reveals that specific aspects of the capability for voice of working welfare recipients are absent in the human rights framework and that the framework is not gender-neutral. Including these aspects, we construct an experimentalist human-rights-based instrument that is suitable for evaluating national MWPs.

通过人权实验主义保护工作福利接受者

在本文中，我们采用实验主义方法来确定国际人权的内容，以评估社会援助接受者（MWP）的国家强制性工作计划。这种方法意味着在法律和经验之间来回切换，以确定在不断变化的环境中保护人权的更好方法。在国际机构的软判例法中确定了评估 MWP 的六个标准之后，我们通过对荷兰 MWP 实践的实证研究来应对这一新兴的国际人权框架。这种对抗表明，在人权框架中缺乏工作福利接受者发声能力的特定方面，并且该框架不是性别中立的。包括这些方面，
