-6single convention is retained, the technique followed by the United Nations and the Council of Europe would be recommendable, which is listing the economic, social and cultural rights, and also establishing in detail the means to promote and control them. 16. In this regard, it should be considered whether the Commission on Human Rights, as it has been conceived – that is, as a legal and quasi-judicial organ – is the appropriate organ to receive periodic reports on these rights. If the Organization of American States is going to have an Inter-American Economic and Social Council and an Inter-American Cultural Council, both with Permanent Executive Committees, perhaps we should analyze whether it should not correspond rather to these OAS organs to examine the periodic reports referred to in Article 41. In this way, the Commission on Human Rights would only have competence to consider petitions and complaints concerning civil and political rights, in accordance with its origin, composition, and rules of procedure. 17. In any case, as regards the economic, social and cultural rights a provision should be included that establishes a certain legal enforceability (to the full extent permitted by the nature of these rights) of compliance with them and their application. To this end, it would be necessary to consider a clause similar Article 2, paragraph 1, of the United Nations Covenant on this matter. That paragraph is as follows: "1. Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to take steps, individually and through international assistance and co-operation, especially economic and technical, to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the rights recognized in the present Covenant by all appropriate means, including particularly the adoption of legislative measures. Observations of Argentina9 Articles 25, second part, and 26: It can be see that, although the second part of article 25 is a literal transcription of Article 31 of the OAS Charter, amended by the Protocol of Buenos Aires, article 26 obliges the States to report periodically to the Commission on Human Rights on the measures they have adopted to achieve the goals mentioned in article 25. In addition, Article 26 recognizes to the Commission the right to make recommendations to the States in this regard, which, evidently, exceeds its competence and possibilities. Furthermore, the States are not granted the possibility of making observations on these recommendations by the Commission. Consequently, I suggest that article 26 be reconsidered and revised. Observations of Dominican Republic10 Article 25 (note the change in order) Paragraph 1: We believe it is preferable to eliminate this paragraph because Article 70 already establishes a procedure for gradually expanding the protection to include other rights that appear in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man. The obligations of the States Parties should be stipulated clearly and without trying imprecisely to incorporate other obligations by allusion. Paragraph 2: Given that this paragraph reaffirms the economic and social goals agreed on when the amendments to the OAS Charter were signed in 1967, this article should also reaffirm this, and in the same words as in the amended Charter. The proposed title and the amended text would be: Article 25. Economic and Social Goals. The States Parties reaffirm the agreement established in the amendments to the OAS Charter signed in 1967 to devote their utmost efforts to accomplishing the following basic goals in order to accelerate their economic and social development, in accordance with their own methods and procedures and within the framework of the democratic principles and the institutions of the inter-American system: (a) 9 Proceedings of the Inter-American Specialized Conference on Human Rights, November 7 to 22, 1969, OEA/Ser.K/XVI/1.2, p. 47. 10 Proceedings of the Inter-American Specialized Conference on Human Rights, November 7 to 22, 1969, OEA/Ser.K/XVI/1.2, pp. 69 and 70.
