French solidarity organisations, members of the CRID, the French League of Human Rights and FIDH have begun the preparation of a report by civil society, in response to the official report the French Government will present in 2007 for the third time in Geneva, to the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (CESCR).
The present document reveals the shortcomings of the official report by the French Government. It will also provide civil society’s point of view on the status of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCRs) in France. The aim of the report itself is to raise public awareness and respect for economic, social and cultural rights.
