Hundreds of millions of people worldwide suffer the violation of their most basic economic, social and cultural rights. The victims have one thing in common: they are denied acces to justice. On the 10th of December 2008 the UN General Assembly adopted the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which the States have been able to sign since the 24th of September 2009. It will enter in force when ten States ratify it. Hungary has not signed it yet.
Once operational, the Protocol will create a new international mechanism for justice seeking. The Protocol will enable those whose economic, social and cultural rights are violated and who are denied a remedy in their countries to seek justice at the international level. It will also influence decisions by judicial bodies at the national and regional levels and create more opportunities for people fighting for these rights in their own countries.
