The key issues addressed concern the conceptualisation of economic, social and cultural rights (ESC rights) and civil and political rights (CPR rights) and how where they can be implemented in the international sphere context. The first asks whether or not these two rights can be understood in the same way, while the second hypothesizes whether identical solutions can be used to integrate them globally. This essay will argue that these two different rights can neither be conceptualized as the same nor be incorporated. mainly due to historical accidents and consequences of accidents such as the nature of rights and behaviors of imposing states and receiving states. My argument develops in three parts. I will first examine historical rights-related events in order to understand the foundations of international human rights which consist of CPR and ESC rights. Second, I will explore the nature of rights themselves. Third, I will consider the purposes of implementing states and the acceptability of states being influenced. Finally, I will demonstrate why two separate rights should be integrated together into the international human rights framework.

However, both the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESC) were only established in 1966. At the time the United States supported the former while the Soviet Union promoted the second, given the legacy of the Second World War and the Cold War. Despite the separate commitment, the United States continues to abuse civil and political rights in its country, such as discrimination against blacks… middle of paper… development disparities and cultural relativism (Murdie and David, 2012).
