Economic, social and cultural rights are finally coming of age.
This book brings together all essential documents, materials, and
case law relating to the International Covenant on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) - one of the most important human
rights instruments in international law - and its Optional
Protocol. This book presents extracts from primary materials
alongside critical commentary and analysis, placing the documents
in their wider context and situating economic, social, and cultural
rights within the broader human rights framework. There is
increasing interest internationally, regionally, and in domestic
legal systems in the protection of economic, social, and cultural
rights. The Optional Protocol of 2008 allows for individual
communications to be made to the UN Committee on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights after its entry into force in 2013. At the
regional level, socio-economic rights are well embedded in human
rights systems in Europe, Africa and the Americas. At the national
level, constitutions and courts have increasingly regarded
socio-economic rights as justiciable, narrowing the traditional
divide with civil and political rights. This book contextualises
these developments in the context of the ICESCR. It provides
detailed analysis of the ICESCR structured around its articles,
drawing on national as well as international case law and
materials, and containing all of the key primary materials in its
extensive appendices. This book is indispensible for the judiciary,
human rights practitioners, government legal advisers and agencies,
national human rights institutions, international organisations,
regional human rights bodies, NGOs and human rights activists,
academics, and students alike.
