Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) recognises two sets of human rights: civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights. Two separate Covenants were adopted by the United Nations (UN) when the Declaration’s provisions were transformed into legally binding obligations: The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). This chapter will focus on the latter.
