50th anniversary of the Human Rights Covenants
The State must do everything it can to implement this Covenant. It should progressively improve enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights over time. To do this, it must use all its available resources. Other States should help poorer States when needed.
The State must guarantee all economic, social and cultural rights to everyone without exception. It is the State’s duty to protect each member of society from any form of discrimination. This means that everyone has the same rights, in spite of:
• Sex • Race or a different skin colour • Speaking a different language • Believing in another religion or no religion • Holding a different opinion • Owning more or less • Being born in another social group • Coming from another country • Any other difference
