This book is the first collection of the drafting records of the
one of the world's two foremost human rights treaties, the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
(ICESCR) of 1966. It makes an important contribution to
understanding the origins and meaning of economic and social
rights, which were drafted over almost two decades years between
1947 and 1966. There is increasing global interest in the stronger
protection of economic, social, and cultural rights, which are
vital to the survival, dignity, and prosperity of everyone. Since
2013, individuals have been able to complain to the United Nations
about violations of their rights, and action can also often be
taken through regional and national human rights procedures. In
this context, many of the current debates surrounding economic and
social rights can be best understood in the light of their drafting
history. This book judiciously selects, and chronologically
presents, the most important drafting documents or extracts thereof
between 1947 and 1966. The book contains an extensive annotated
table of documents, allowing researchers to track the progress of
the key rights and issues in the drafting. It also includes an
original analytical introductory essay, which summarises and
analyses the main procedural and substantive developments during
the drafting. The essay charts the many influences on the
recognition of economic and social rights at a key moment in
history: the aftermath of the Second World War, which demonstrated
the need to eliminate the economic and social causes of threats to
global peace and security. This book is essential reading for
scholars, practitioners, and students of international human rights
law.
