op-icescr is an abbreviation for the Optional Protocol for the International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This is the UN official terminology making a debate since 1999 on rights other than just political and personal ones. People generally think that only the political and personal rights can be claimed by law, at least in countries that have signed the Chart of Human Rights.
Many observers think that economic, social and cultural rights should also be in the category of rights admissible by law. Among the countries strongly supporting this view to be admitted by the UN General Assembly are Brazil and Mexico.
