7.3 ICESCR (1966)

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights — the equality bundle's treaty (work, social security, family, the adequate standard of living, health, education, culture). The distinctive obligations' grammar: the progressive realization within available resources (Art 2(1)) + the immediate core (non-discrimination; the minimum essential levels; no deliberate retrogression); the General Comment 3's minimum-core doctrine; the Optional Protocol (2008/2013) — the individual communications' newer machinery. The Committee: CESCR — the standard's auditor and the doctrine's author.
