Optional Protocol to ICESCR
 The
ICESCR is a legally binding treaty that protects a range of
economic, social, and cultural rights without discrimination
based on creed, political affiliation, gender, or race.
It was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1966 and entered
into force ten years later.
