| dc.description | This paper is the second in our series of three publications entitled 'Bringing ESC Rights Home', aimed at strengthening the protection of ESC rights in Ireland.
The report outlines the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (OP ICESCR). The OP ICESCR provides people with a remedy to complain to the UN if their ESC rights are not upheld at the national level.
The report provides information on the contents of the OP ICESCR; how the OP ICESCR is relevant to individual Government
departments; reasons why Ireland should ratify the OP ICESCR; provision for ESC rights in Irish law and policy; existing domestic accountability mechanisms which can help in the promotion and protection of ESC rights; ratifications to date and steps taken by other States to ratify the OP ICESCR. The document concludes with a number of recommendations. | en |
