The ideal of free human beings enjoying civil and political freedom and freedom from fear and want can only be achieved if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his civil and political rights, as well as his social, economic and cultural rights. —International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights, 1966
