In recent years, monitoring economic, social and cultural rights has become the modality to mainstream the realization of these rights as equally important to that of civil and political rights and thus rightly acknowledge their status as integral part of human rights law. This five-day training course answers to the increasing need of organizations to acquire know-how and enhance their capacity and knowledge in order to effectively pursue the monitoring of economic, social and cultural rights.
