"in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of free human beings enjoying freedom from fear and want can only be achieved if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his economic, social and cultural rights, as well as his civil and political rights."

1998: 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Welcome to the website for the Canadian Non-Governmental Organizations that participated in the recent review of Canada's compliance with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESC)

NGOs play an important part in the United Nations review process, providing reliable and well-documented information to the U.N. Committee on which an objective assessment can be made of the state’s compliance with fundamental human rights.

We hope to provide you with complete information in one place of the whole process of the review of Canada.
