Discourse in Development: Post-Colonial "Agenda" for the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social amd Cultural Rights Through the Post-Colonial Lens (original) (raw)

The paper critiques the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) through a post-colonial lens, examining the implications of its work on economic, social, and cultural rights. It highlights how the Committee's recommendations often conflict with the interests of developing nations, suggesting an expansion of its inquiries into financial issues impacting these rights. The analysis seeks to address the paternalistic legacies of colonialism in the context of the global human rights regime, advocating for a more nuanced and supportive approach to rectifying economic injustices faced by former colonies.
