However, the protection of social human rights, such as health, housing, education, involve a number of unfavorable factors that hinder enforcement, because such rights are driven by public policy through State action, which results in the allocation of public resources aimed at expenditure budgets or government spending. Given this scenario, the present study will determine that the proper exercise of the allocations for the solution of the problems of social rights, should signify a commitment by the state to fulfill the minimum liberties required for development of the person, that is why the monitoring of public spending on these budget items, constitute, the expansion of protective of social rights.
