Extreme poverty impedes social and economic development and threatens the rule of law and social fabric of any society. If poverty is recognised as a violation of human "rights, it is possible that the Judiciary may be empowered to intervene, when situations of poverty are consequences of failures in governance. Active and sustained involvement of civil society is necessary for tackling any social problem, including poverty. If poverty is recognised as a human rights issue both domestic and international civil society would need to take an active part in promoting it as such, and in resisting any policy that loses sight of the need to constantly keep poverty in check. The human rights activism that is typically generated through the work of civil actors can be useful for the various departments of governments that engage in formulating and implementing policies relating to fighting poverty. A human rights approach creates an empowering dimension in the work of civil society in ensuring transparency of the government. Poverty recognised only as an economic and public policy issue invites official responses from government bodies. But the human rights aspects of the discussion will receive a wider community of responses. This empowering dimension of the human rights discourse is useful in sustaining poverty-free governance as a basic principle of administration.
When poverty is recognised as a human rights issue, it is possible to achieve political consensus on the ways and means of fighting it. Further it can ensure that objectivity is maintained in the implementation of policies relating to fighting poverty so that resource allocation and targetting of the areas and people who are suffering from extreme poverty is not based on any biases or prejudices. This is important as it is possible that the resources that are allocated to fight poverty may not reach the true and deserving beneficiaries, because of corruption or other abuse of power. To avoid this problem the recognition of poverty as a human rights issue broadens the scope for engagement, and political consensus can be developed to ensure that violations are uniformly recognised, without any form of discrimination maintaining political consensus on issues relating to poverty can then in time result in the broader application of internationally developed good governance principles.
