ESC Rights Initiative Conference
Making Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Meaningful
Oak Room, Mansion House, Dawson St., Dublin 2
The Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Initiative (ESCRI) is a coalition of over 60 civil society organisations including ATD Ireland that support strengthening the protection of economic, social and cultural rights in the Irish Constitution.
With the other members of the ESC Rights initiative, ATD was very proud to organise “Making Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Meaningful” an event that brought together a range of stakeholders to discuss how enforceable ESC Rights such as housing and health would impact on individuals and groups in Ireland, drawing on experiences from other States where ESC Rights have been given legal protection.
Documents for the conference are available here. Some of these documents have been prepared by ATD Ireland!
