GENEVA (13 October 2015) – The UN Committee on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights has published its findings on the States it examined
during its session from 21 September to 9 October 2015. The States listed below
were reviewed:
Burundi, Greece, Guyana, Iraq, Italy, Morocco and Sudan
The findings, known as concluding observations, can be
found here: http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/treatybodyexternal/SessionDetails1.aspx?SessionID=968&Lang=en
These findings contain positive aspects of a respective
State’s implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and
Cultural Rights (ICESCR), highlight main areas of concern and detail the
Committee’s recommendations for action.
The above are among the 164 States that have ratified the
Covenant and so are required to submit regular reports to the Committee of 18
international independent experts on how they’re implementing the Covenant.
