Economic, social and cultural rights are a set of human rights covering the everyday life of the human person. They are recognised in international human rights law as the rights that humanity aspires to in order for human beings to live free and dignified lives. These rights cover the economic, social and cultural aspects of the human experience.

Answer Myanmar’s research is focused primarily on the right to food, the right to shelter, the right to health, and the right to education. But our team also stress the indivisible nature of human rights including those contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It is only when all those rights are respected, protected and fulfilled, that the everyday human person can enjoy a high standard of life, freedom and peace.
