Appraisal of the programmes in the economic, social and human rights fields

Abstract

The report outlines the general framework within which the activities of the United Nations and its subsidiary bodies could be developed in the economic, social and human rights fields. It is not the purpose of the Report to formulate explicit programmes, since the various organizations normally lay down their own periodic programmes of work. The ECA Executive Secretary made his contribution in a document published at the time of the Commission's second session (E/CN.14/37) and drafted in the light of the Commission's terms of reference and the views expressed by its Members in the Commission's first report to the Economic and Social Council. It can be seen from the report that in a general way the Commission's views have been taken into account.
