International institutions and social, economic and cultural rights

International institutions and social, economic and cultural rights

In recent years we have witnessed a great increase in knowledge and technology worldwide which is available to all. However, despite this progress, we still have the same International Institutions and mechanisms that we designed after the Second World War. These institutions are characterized by fragmentation, structural dysfunc- tions such as corruption, lack of resources, and a lack of institutional capacity. The aim of this book is to evaluate the challenges facing International Institutions in the protection of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. More specifically, it seeks to detect different patterns in two types of actors that include international financial institutions and institutions of the universal system, such as the United Nations Refugee Agency. The methodology includes a design of comparative documentary research and case study evaluation. This includes an evaluation of several cases that analyse the role of International Institutions and their interaction with human rights. Trying to find common patterns in different structures and processes gives us some indication, an image of the type of problems these institutions currently face. The cases studied in this research reveal a series of challenges international institutions are facing that range from strengthening organizational and strategic aspects to overall strengthening institutional capacity. However, the main challenge encountered is the development of intentional institutional reflexivity. This implies the adoption, by international ins- titutions, of a new orientation to principles and values. The promotion of this new approach must start with a complete restructuration at the world level.
