Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 12
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Optional Protocol also permits States to declare that they recognize the competence of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to review inter-State communications in cases where one State party considers that another State party has failed to fulfil its obligations under the Covenant. The Committee may also have recourse to an inquiry procedure whereby it would consider allegations from reliable sources indicating grave or systematic violations by a State party of any of the rights set forth in the Covenant. While the Covenant does not have a mechanism to enforce decisions, findings and decisions by the Committee can increase awareness and scrutiny of specific violations at the international level. An international peer review mechanism such as the universal periodic review could be employed as a means of highlighting the failure of States to implement decisions under the Covenant.
