Explanation:

ICESCR is a multilateral treaty adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1966, coming into force since 1976. It commits its parties to work toward the granting of economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR) to the Non- Self-Governing and Trust Territories and individuals, including labour rights and the right to health, the right to education, and the right to an adequate standard of living. As of 2015, the Covenant has 164 parties. Six countries, including the United States, have signed but not ratified the Covenant.
