Abstract

The article aims to explore the enforcement of the International Covenant 
on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) by administrative courts in 
Poland and Czechia. The concluding observations of the Committee on Economic, 
Social and Cultural Rights have suggested significant differences between the two 
countries in this regard for many years. However, the exact reasons underlying this 
discrepancy remained unclear. The paper provides comprehensive insight into this 
legal phenomenon. Firstly, the author reconstructs the obligations relating to the eco
nomic, social and cultural (ESC) rights imposed on administrative courts. Secondly, 
the results of a large-scale review of the domestic rulings are presented. Based on the 
quantitative and qualitative analysis of the existing case law, it is revealed that the 
Polish and Czech courts share significant similarities in enforcing ESC rights. The 
study indicates that comparable shortcomings in terms of judicial enforcement of the 
Covenant are inherent in both jurisdictions. Thirdly, the author points to the existing 
methods available for the administrative courts that can still be used to strengthen 
the protection of the rights recognised in the ICESCR.
