Some authors assert that the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) adjudicates social rights through an indirect connection between civil rights and social rights. This puts into question the legitimacy of its decisions, being that it is a civil right's exclusive supranational Court. In order to review the degree of respect for the creativity margins in judicial interpretation, this paper classifies five levels of social rights, identifying both the central case and those of the penumbra, in order to review the previous statement in the most recent and relevant caselaw of this Court in light of this classification.
