Extractions: The principal stumbling block to the realization of the Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights has always been the debate over the nature of state obligations. In the case of civil and political rights, it is assumed that these obligations are absolute and immediate. The country that is impoverished and in major difficulty, like the Uganda of ten years ago or the Zaire of today, still must respect the right of its prisoners to decent conditions. Of course, it is ludicrous to hold such a country to this obligation. International human rights bodies will insist on it for formality's sake, but no one takes them seriously. In reality, a sliding scale is applied. By the terms of the Covenant, social and economic rights are neither absolute nor immediate; nonetheless, states are not without obligation to fulfill them. The obligation consists in two words that are often overlooked: state parties must "take steps" to realize the rights enumerated in the Covenant. The duty is qualified by the state's available resources, and so on. Even so, the obligation to "take steps" remains. Until recently, there has been no international forum to discuss and debate the nature of the obligation and the content of particular rights. The U.N. Commission on Human Rights devotes about five percent of its time to economic and social rights issues; other human rights bodies usually ignore them. The only body mandated to do work in this area, the U.N. Committee of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, was established in 1987 on the implicit condition that it be ineffectual and inactive. Not until the Soviet Union had dissolved and the Cold War had ended was the Committee free to go about its work.

Philip Randolph Institute Acronym/Code: APRI Updated: 8/89 Categories: Political, Education Background: The A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) and its educational arm, the A. Philip Randolph Educational Fund (APREF) have their roots in the massive August 1963 March on Washington. The march was conceived by A. Philip Randolph and organized by Bayard Rustin. Its purpose was to broaden the southern civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King to one that would demonstrate a national unity for political, economic and social justice for blacks. The march was an overwhelming success, an event that saw more than 200,000 people gather before the White House to hear Randolph make a commitment to "join and support all actions undertaken in good faith and in accord with timehonored democratic traditions of nonviolent protest or peaceful assembly and petition, and of redress through the courts and the legislative process."(2) The political and philosophical positions of APRI are compatible with those of the neoconservative, anticommunist Social Democrats, USA. (22) Bayard Rustin served as president of SD/USA until his death and current APRI president, Norman Hill is on its board of directors. (18,37)
