Minimum core obligations There are certain core obligations within economic, social and cultural rights that should be complied with immediately, regardless of economic resources, and which are not subject to the principle of progressive realization. These are: • non-discrimination in the application of economic, social and cultural rights; • right to freedom from arbitrary forced evictions. Analysing the content of economic, social and cultural rights The basic content of economic, social and cultural rights such as health care, education, benefits, etc., must be made available to all on a non-discriminatory basis. Further relevant standards will be: • sufficiency: e.g., sufficient levels of benefits; and • quality: e.g., health care of an adequate quality. Where services forming part of the basic content of economic, social and cultural rights are made available, they must be accessible to all. The concept of accessibility includes: • physical accessibility: e.g., disabled access to schools; benefit offices within a reasonable geographic distance of claimants; • economically accessible: e.g., medical care available free of charge where necessary or at a reasonable cost; • non-discrimination and accessibility to vulnerable groups. In addition, economic, social and cultural rights should be implemented in a manner that is culturally acceptable. For example, education must be broadly culturally acceptable and appropriate to parents and children. From the counter-terrorism perspective, an assessment of particular proposals should be made to analyse the impact of those proposals on the economic, social and cultural rights of all those affected by the measures. For example, policies that may require the detention of those with irregular immigration status for security reasons should be assessed for their likely impact on the individuals concerned and also those dependent upon them. That impact assessment should be carried out in accordance with the interpretive principles in relation to economic, social and cultural rights identified above.
