THE ANALYSE OF NATURE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS AND CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

After World War II The International Society established United Nations for promoting peace and Human Rights in the World. It has declared Universal declaration of Human Rights which was a standard setting document and was not legally binding on signatory states. In 1966 two legally binding treaties International Civil and Political Rights and International Convention on Economic, social and cultural rights came into force. However, economic, social and cultural rights have been neglected comparing the efforts spent for the civil and political rights. This was mainly a result of struggle between two ideological blocs during the Cold War. Although they have been regulated under two different covenants, whether there is a core distinction between the two groups of rights or not is a question in the International Human Rights academic world.
