UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is a group of experts that monitors how countries implement the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which guarantees rights like education, health, and fair working conditions. Countries that have signed this treaty submit regular reports to the Committee, explaining their progress and challenges. The Committee reviews these reports, offers recommendations, and encourages governments to improve the well-being and rights of their citizens. Its goal is to promote and protect people's economic, social, and cultural rights worldwide through oversight and guidance.
