realization of the rights recognized in the Covenant, attention shall be paid to equitable and effective use of and access to the available resources. 28. In the use of the available resources due priority shall be given to the realization of rights recognized in the Covenant, mindful of the need to assure everyone the satisfaction of subsistence requirements as well as the provision of essential services." Disaggregated and precise indicators can go a long way towards delineating the extent to which the principles inherent in article 2 are actually in place. "to achieving progressively" Indicators can also assist with respect to the term "progressively". Indeed, indicators probably provide the most effective means of measuring the progressive achievement of the rights found in the Covenant. As noted above, temporal comparability is a crucial criterion for determining the validity of utilizing a given indicator. "bv all appropriate means" Generally speaking, indicators should surely be classified as one of the "appropriate means" by which the full realization of the rights found in the Covenant can take place. Indeed, the non-collection of statistical data concerning the extent to which the relevant rights are realized or unfulfilled would constitute an "inappropriate means" of implementing the Covenant. 64. In reference to articles 6 to 15 of the Covenant, indicators can be extremely helpful in monitoring levels of State compliance, while giving these rights greater degrees of legal substance and clarity. Certain elements of a possible methodology which could be developed towards these ends will be discussed below when we address core indicators in more detail. 65. Other htJHian rights organs also have had experience in the field of indicators. For instance, as noted above, ILO's Committee of Experts, while utilizing indicators in their monitoring procedures, tries to limit their use as a general practice.
