Résumé

The objective of this article is to focus on the Brazilian human rights movement’s experience of producing a shadow report under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), as well as the impact of this experience on the actual protection of these rights. In other words, the aim is to evaluate the way in which Brazilian civil society, through the production of the shadow report, encouraged the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ESCR Committee), responsible for overseeing the implementation of the ICESCR at the national level, to adopt suggestions and recommendations to the Brazilian State with a view to advancing the protection of economic, social and cultural rights, and to examine the strategies used by Brazilian NGOs for following up on these recommendations.
