The rights that have as their purpose the satisfaction of the economic, social or cultural needs of the beneficiaries are those that provide the holder with an economic gain necessary for an increase in the richness of social and/or cultural life and useful for the full development of the human person.For this reason, the UN General Assembly adopted in 1966, on the same day as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, an autonomous human rights convention called the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.However, at present, although they figure prominently in the constitutional, treaty and legal framework of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, economic rights and social and cultural rights in particular remain of little quantitative importance in many national instruments, if they are not simply declared programmatic.
