The Project's participation in the optional protocol process is driven by the need to ensure that those whose socio-economic rights have been violated have access to justice at not just the national level but the international level as well. Together with other organisations forming the International NGO Coalition, we aim at ensuring that the best possible optional protocol to the ICESCR is swiftly adopted, so as to remedy the current gaps in the procedures to render socio-economic rights justiciable at the international level.
