New From the Science and Human Rights Program:

• Core Obligations: Building a Framework for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, edited by SHR staff members Audrey Chapman and Sage Russell (Intersentia, Antwerp, 2002). Core Obligations provides an in-depth look at the rights in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, in chapters contributed by international experts. It brings added conceptual clarity to discussions of ESC rights by describing their content, delineating state obligations, and identifying representative violations—a necessary step along the road to full implementation. Core Obligations: Building a Framework for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is the most recent in a series of resources produced by the AAAS/HURIDOCS (Human Rights Information and Documentations Systems, International) project in monitoring ESC rights. Copies may be ordered from Intersentia.
• Database of Environment and Human Rights Resources. A comprehensive, easy-to-use index of resources on human rights and the environment is now available online from AAAS. The Environment and Human Rights Resources website explores the connections between human rights and a healthy environment by providing easy access to documents, other web sites, and organizations.
