Thesaurus of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

Online tool that can be used to identify indicators for economic, social and cultural rights, but also to gather more information on economic, social and cultural rights. The tool was developed from the outset to enable NGO's to monitor violations of economic, social and cultural rights.

"Based on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR or the Covenant), it organises and classifies rights, terminology and corresponding potential violations pertaining to articles 1-15 of the Covenant categorically, thematically, and alphabetically." (Source: Thesaurus on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights).
