Progressive realisation definition
Progressive realisation means that the government must move forward and ensure that the rights are realised over time. It may do so through adopting a comprehensive and co-ordinated programme with time-frames, goals and targets, and must be able to monitor its own progress. For example, the government will not move forward if it takes away, without good reason, land which people use to produce food, and does not provide alternative means for people to obtain food by themselves.
