New Publication on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
The booklet, Claiming Economic, Social and Cultural Rights at the International Level, has been written by the Socio-Economic Rights Project's Co-ordinator & Senior Researcher, Dr Lilian Chenwi.
Rights can result in real changes in
people’s lives if they are able to enforce them through domestic courts
and international human rights monitoring bodies. Various international
human rights treaties, national constitutions and legislation recognise
the right to a remedy for violations of human rights. However, until
recently there was no way for victims of economic, social and cultural
(ESC) rights violations to lay complaints with the United Nations (UN)
Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR).
