4: signing two petitions our booth at the 1st floor of the Fair book.

A: Petition to President of the French Republic to apply signature and ratification of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Too often, governments have only produced rhetoric regarding their obligation to guarantee to all economic, social and cultural rights.

All governments have committed to reducing poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals, set by the UN.

But poor people often see their rights violated and generally do not opportunity to ask governments to account.

Tell your government that if it really wants to guarantee access to justice for all human rights and reduce poverty, France must ratify the protocol.
