By Barbara Crossette on Feb 13, 2015 - A new United Nations human-rights paper zeroes in on the huge barriers girls face in getting an education.

In the few months remaining before a new set of development goals are set to be adopted in the United Nations to replace the Millennium Development Goals, specialists in many fields will be drilling down into why some of those MDGs have fallen short — sometimes far short — of their aspirations, especially in the lives of women and girls. The Sustainable Development Goals that will replace the current goals have already been greeted with skepticism by numerous governments and many experts, who say that 17 unwieldy goals with 169 targets by which to measure them — compared with the eight succinct MDGs — is a recipe for more failure.
This is not to say that there have not been some specific successes, in primary education with parity for girls, for example, and some overarching transformations since 2000, when the MDGs were adopted. Those goals, taken seriously in many developing countries, prove that concerted action on global challenges is possible, as Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said.
Furthermore, scrutiny of the lagging goals has often led to open discussion of an issue that has been taboo for years, if not decades: the obstructions to progress, especially in areas of human rights, that some cultural attitudes pose.
The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights this morning opened its fifty-fourth session at the Palais Wilson in Geneva, hearing from Simon Walker, Chief of the Civil, Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Section, Human Rights Treaties Division of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Committee also elected a new Bureau, including Waleed Sadi (Jordan) as the new Chairperson, adopted its agenda for the session, and heard from stakeholders on the situation in Paraguay, whose report will be considered this afternoon.
In his opening statement, Mr. Walker welcomed the ratification by South Africa of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in January, thus bringing the number of ratifications to 163. This year would see the full implementation of General Assembly resolution 62/268, and Mr. Walker encouraged the Committee to continue considering ways to harmonize its working methods. The United Nations General Assembly would adopt in September the Sustainable Development Goals and it was encouraging that the draft version of the goals included references to not only economic, social and cultural rights but also political and civil rights, which was a significant step towards a balanced and transformative agenda that addressed freedom from fear as well as freedom from want. Mr. Walker called attention to the recent report by the Secretary-General to the Human Rights Council on social protection floors, which outlined their main characteristics and how they contributed to ensuring the enjoyment of minimum essential levels of economic, social and cultural rights, and reducing poverty and inequality.
At the beginning of the meeting, the following members of the Committee made their solemn oath: Shiqiu Chen (China), Rodrigo Uprimny Yepes (Colombia) and Olivier de Schutter (Belgium).
