There are nine core international human rights treaties within the Universal System of United Nations. Each of these treaties has established a committee of independent experts to monitor implementation of the core international human rights treaties. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) is the body that monitors implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights by its States parties. The Committee cannot consider individual complaints, although a draft Optional Protocol to the Covenant is under consideration which could give the Committee competence in this regard.
