Of interest, a new report of the *High Commissioner for Human Rights on
Implementation of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights* has been released,
contained in E/2009/90.

The report presents the concepts of implementing and monitoring human rights
with specific reference to economic, social and cultural rights . It
addresses the specific challenges posed by the complex array of obligations
that stem from economic, social and cultural rights, including progressive
realization and non-discrimination; outlines various ways of monitoring
legislation and other normative measures, such as regulations, policies,
plans and programs, and elaborates on monitoring the realization of rights,
paying particular attention to human rights impact assessments, the use of
indicators and benchmarks and budget analysis; and addresses the issue of
monitoring violations of economic, social and cultural rights.
