摘要：
本文依據2011年我在東吳大學舉辦之國際人權公約研討會中的報告改寫，主要是讓這篇文章能符合書面論文的格式。在那一場會議中，我將報告的重點放在對《經濟、社會與文化權利國際公約》的討論。本文則將此公約及其保障的權利放在一個更廣的脈絡當中，含括從一個家庭，到整個國際社會中所涉及的社會與經濟不正義。

Abstract：
This paper is based substantially on a presentation to the 2011 Conference on the Human Rights Covenants, although I have adapted the style of the paper from that presentation to one more suited to a written text. My brief for the Conference was to discuss the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), one of the two Covenants deriving from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The paper begins by placing the Covenant and the rights it protects in a wider context, that of addressing questions of social and economic injustice, both at home in a domestic jurisdiction and globally in the international family of nations.
