*[[International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights]]
Social rights are human rights that ensure to all people a fair standard of living, without discrimination. These may include the right to an education, healthcare, or the right to employment. Anti-discrimination acts have often secured these rights for politically weaker groups.
