The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ("ICESCR") constitutes one-third of the unofficially known "International Bill of Rights". The other two thirds are the International Covenant on Civic and Political Rights ("ICCPR") and the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights". ICESCR relates to general economic, social and cultural rights, in particular HIV / AIDS issues: the highest achievable health rights (Article 12), the right to education (Article 13) Right to work (Article 7; rights to benefit from scientific progress and its application (Article 15), rights to social security (Article 9), right to appropriate living standards including appropriate food, clothing, housing Article 11) and the right to participate in cultural life (Article 15)
As a treaty, ICESCR binds all parties that ratify the Convention and those who do not approve are obliged not to violate the purpose of the Convention under Article 18 of the Vienna Convention. As with ICCPR, the Parties to ICESCR are obligated to periodically report to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on compliance with the Convention. The committee also created a "general opinion" explaining ICESCR and exchanging general opinions on the rights of ICESCR.
However, unlike ICCPR, ICESCR does not have a protocol that allows victims of violations of ICESCR to file a complaint against the ESCR committee against countries that have ratified the treaty and infringed its obligations. Create an optional protocol and send it to the human rights of the UN
The International Socio - Economic and Cultural Rights Convention (ICESCR) adopted at the UN General Assembly on December 16, 1966, which came into effect on January 3, 1976. It commits the parties' commitment to the individual's social and cultural rights (ESCR), including economic, non-autonomous and reliable territory and labor rights and health rights, educational rights and right to living standards Thing. As of September 2018, the treaty had 169 political parties. The other four countries, including the United States, signed the treaty, but have not yet ratified it.
18 For example, on December 19, 1966, 999 UNTS 171 (effective on March 23, 1976), December 19, 1966, the International Convention on International Economic, Social and Cultural Signature Civil Rights , 993 UNTS 3 (effective January 3, 1976) For more information on these treaties, see section II.C below. Others believe that the bill violates other documents such as the UN Declaration on Human Rights and the Charter of the Africa, but the authorities have found that within the Convention there are discrimination provisions explicitly applied to sexual or gender minorities I have not found. However, this discussion may not be practical; Uganda is required to withdraw its treaty obligations inconsistent with the purpose of the bill, if the bill is passed.
II. Reason and reason why Uganda, the African Union, and the international community can not protect the rights of Uganda's LGBT community
It came into force in 1976 based on the international convention on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civic and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. These two conventions have developed the majority of the rights already enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These are binding on the countries that ratified them. They prescribe the daily rights such as the right of life, equality before the law, freedom of speech, labor rights, social security, educational rights and so on. The Treaty and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights collectively constitute the International Human Rights Declaration.
