Which of the following is NOT part of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights?

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) is one of the two key international treaties that emerged from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, focusing specifically on civil and political rights of individuals. The ICCPR outlines a range of rights, including the right to life, freedom of speech, and protection from discrimination, among others.

The International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) is a separate treaty that addresses different categories of rights, specifically economic, social, and cultural rights, such as the rights to work, education, and an adequate standard of living. Therefore, it is not part of the ICCPR, which is why this choice is recognized as the correct answer.

In contrast, the other options—the European Convention on Human Rights, the American Convention on Human Rights, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights—are regional human rights instruments that exist within specific geographic contexts. While they operate independently of the ICCPR, they aim to protect a broad spectrum of human rights and often include provisions that overlap with those found in the ICCPR, but they are not elements of the covenant itself.
