The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, hereinafter "ICESCR", binds States Parties to take measures to realize the rights recognized in the treaty. These are both fundamental obligations, to be carried out immediately, and tasks to be carried out progressively, through the use of the maximum available resources. Once achieved, measures will need to be taken to ensure that these rights are not compromised. If a regression occurs, full justification is required. This legal brief will critically analyze the situation in Mythica in order to identify any tasks assigned in the ICESCR that may have been violated. It will then outline which of such potential violations could be brought before the Optional Protocol, hereinafter 'OP', for remedy.II. A BROAD OVERVIEW OF THE CASE ANALYSIS The ICESCR treaty body, the Committee on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights, hereinafter the “Committee”, has identified the minimum fundamental obligations. In its General Comment 3, hereinafter "GC3", it clarifies that there are basic "essential levels" of all ICESCR rights. These create minimum core obligations that need to be implemented quickly. The obligation to comply requires that States refrain from interfering with ICESCR rights. The duty to protect requires states to protect rights holders from violations by third parties. The responsibility to fulfill implies that States take action to achieve the full realization of rights. If any of these are not met, a violation has occurred. Violations can be committed through both action and inaction. It is up to the State to demonstrate that it has made every effort to exhaust its resources to meet its minimum obligations. Furthermore, he will have to provide...... half a document ... issue in his State Reports, where he will have to indicate if he encounters difficulties that prevent him from fulfilling his obligations. Furthermore, it will not have fulfilled its responsibility to seek international assistance and cooperation from the donating States Parties.IV. CONCLUSION: SUBMITTING CASES BEFORE PROTOCOL All national appeals must be exhausted before being submitted to the Committee. It should be noted that some of the potential violations occurred recently and it is not likely that all domestic remedies have been exhausted. If you decide to submit a communication, this must be done within one year of such exhaustion, unless it is proven that this was not possible. In these matters, for the victim and potential future victims who may be spared based on the OP's findings, time is of the essence.
