An optional protocol would also serve to ensure that individuals have an opportunity to be heard and that they have access to remedies in cases of violations.

On 18 November, the General Assembly's Third Committee adopted by consensus the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Optional Protocol). Fifty-two member states from all regions* have so far co-sponsored the resolution adopting the Optional Protocol. The General Assembly is due to finally adopt the Optional Protocol in plenary session on 10 December. <br> <br> <strong>It seems that the resolution will also be adopted by consensus in the plenary session but we believe that the higher the number of co-sponsors, the smoother the adoption process will be and greater support the Optional Protocol will have in the near future i.e. signatures/ratifications/ financial support /etc. We would therefore request your support for one last big push: for those in countries that are not yet a co-sponsor of the Optional Protocol resolution, please lobby your government to do so.</strong> If you are in a position to write letters or meet with ministries in any country, please get in touch with the Steering Committee at <a href="mailto:op_coalition@yahoo.de">op_coalition@yahoo.de</a> <br> <br> For your information, here's the link to the UN Press Service summary of the discussions on 18 November about the ESCR Optional Protocol:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2008/gashc3938.doc.htm">http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2008/gashc3938.doc.htm</a><br> <br> The Steering Committee<br> <br> *Albania, Angola, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Côte d Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Germany, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Honduras, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Timor-Leste, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay, and Venezuela. <o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>____________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
