Preface to the Quito Declaration on the Enforcement and Realization of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in Latin America and the Caribbean

Jochnick, Chris
Petit, Javier

Long the province of labor and social movements, these issues are increasingly assuming the banner of human rights and, in recent years, Latin America has seen a flurry of activity specifically focused on economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR).
