Andrea Boggio and Brian Gran discuss how indicators may be used to monitor realization of the human right to science articulated in Article 15 ICESCR. Measuring the extent of the gap between universally acknowledged standards and implementation efforts of national governments contributes to the realization of the human right to science for different countries at different times. Indicators are widely used to monitor how well states live up to the standards necessary for the advancement of human rights. Following a review of relevant literatures on human right indicators, Boggio and Gran propose a definition of the normative content of the human right to science and identify indicators which can be used to measure the realization of the right. They discuss several challenges and limitations of their approach yet ultimately argue for the utility of indicators. Such indicators can be used to (1) facilitate monitoring of compliance with Article 15 of the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights by UN bodies as well as human rights advocates; (2) refine the essential attributes of the human right to science, which are still not well defined; and (3) assist national governments in implementing policies that contribute to the realization of the human right to science.
