Session II: “Mainstreaming economic, social and cultural rights”
Objective: This session is divided into two main panel discussions. The first panel discussion (Panel 2)
will allow participants to share methods of work, best practices and lessons learned and standards
developed by each mechanism to mainstream economic, social and cultural rights in their work, so as to
identify common priorities, challenges, synergies and possible complementarities.
The panellists will seek to address the following concerns: What does mainstreaming economic, social
and cultural rights mean at the United Nations and regional levels? What are the key strategies used by
United Nations and regional mechanisms to mainstream economic, social and cultural rights? How can
United Nations and regional mechanisms complement each other in mainstreaming economic, social and
cultural rights? What is the role of other actors in strengthening mainstreaming of economic, social and
cultural rights?
In the second panel discussion (Panel 3), participants will discuss the role of regional and subregional
courts as well as that of other stakeholders, including NHRIs and non-governmental organizations, in
promoting economic, social and cultural rights. Some of the questions that participants will explore are:
What standards on economic, social and cultural rights have been developed by United Nations and
regional judicial and quasi-judicial mechanisms? What are the challenges faced by United Nations and
regional judicial and quasi-judicial mechanisms in enforcing economic, social and cultural rights? How
can these challenges be overcome?
