The recognition of a duty incumbent upon states {\textquoteleft}to take action{\textquoteright} is, at base, the common denominator of all understandings of the notion of {\textquoteleft}positive obligations{\textquoteright}. In the specific context of international human rights law, the notion is one which has been frequently invoked both by treaty-monitoring bodies and in the academic literature; however, the term apparently bears differing meanings for different writers, depending on the context and the obligation under discussion. A number of different uses can accordingly be discerned, which to some extent overlap and interact.\&nbsp;},
