the right to property, the right to work, which one freely chooses or accepts, the right to a
fair wage, a reasonable limitation of working hours, and trade union rights.

the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific,
literary or artistic production of which one is the author

D. Civil – It is a further set of ‘physical integrity rights’ which concern the right to life, liberty

person torture and inhuman treatment, arbitrary arrest, detention, exile, slavery and

economic and social rights.

the ICCPR. They include freedom of expression, freedom of association and assembly, the
