Bibliography

This bibliography is divided into two sections. The first cites selected resources which workshop participants have found particularly useful for their understanding of ESC rights standards, conceptual issues, and international human rights mechanisms. It is not exhaustive. The second section lists those resources which were cited in Ripple in Still Water, as well as interviews with and contributions by workshop participants which were critical to the development of this resource. For information about international human rights standards related to ESC rights standards and United Nations documents, refer to Appendix B: A List of Relevant UN Documents and Partial Compilation of ESC Rights Standards.
