The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research and Scientific Policies. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: The research develops within the framework of the evolution of human rights, particularly in the processes of implementation of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR or social rights). The research lines converge in two dimensions, the effectiveness and enforceability of these rights. In terms of effectiveness, the objectives of the research focus on determining the rights¿ contents, the obligations they generate, the entitlement of rights, and the criteria for their interpretation and application. The enforceability dimension includes obligations related to compliance by duty-bearers and rights-holders, multilevel institutional mechanisms for the enforcement of normative, judicial and quasi-judicial rights, as well as access to justice. The approach to the principle of equality and non-discrimination and the gender perspective must be considered transversally to the dimensions of the effectiveness and enforceability of ESCR.

Scientific-technical goals: - Understanding the current state of economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR), including progress and remaining challenges. What do ESCR entail today?
- To provide clarity and systematization of the content and obligations of ESCR given the plurality of protection systems.
- Develop interpretative criteria for the minimum content of the rights established in international guidelines and standards.
- Examine progress and remaining challenges in relation to the universal ownership of rights.
- To delve deeper into the theoretical and practical development of human rights aimed at strengthening the thesis of the connections between human rights: an exact examination of the relationships of indivisibility, interrelation and interdependence between human rights.
- Incorporate the vision of other branches of the social sciences into the multi-level implementation of ESCR.
- Implementation of the indicator system through case studies.
- Clarification of the concepts and enforcement mechanisms of economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR). Study of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).

- To specify the means for aggrieved individuals or groups to have effective means and resources for redress.
- Examining the relationship between economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR) and anti-discrimination law. Social rights and gender perspective.
