Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR)
The Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) is a US-based, international non-governmental organisation that fights poverty and inequality by advancing human rights as guiding principles of social and economic justice. Working in collaboration with partners around the world, CESR uses international human rights law as a tool to challenge unjust economic policies that systematically undermine rights enjoyment and thereby fuel inequalities.
