This manual presents the work of the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights on economic, social and cultural rights from all possible approaches, in all settings and above all, with the clarity that they should be universal and inclusive knowledge. In this sense, the main challenge is to ensure that people in conditions of greater vulnerability have simple references of what their rights are as groups, how to recognize them, protect them and how to claim them, both within national justice and before international organizations for the protection of human rights.
