Spanish term or phrase: cuyo ejercicio permiten en nivel de igualdad
Sin embargo, al desaparecer en la regulación concreta de los derechos las referencias al carácter progresivo y a la existencia de recursos, podemos afirmar que todas las medidas exigidas a los Estados para el pleno ejercicio en pie de igualdad de derechos civiles y políticos —medidas que tradicionalmente han sido consideradas como de política social (es decir, fuera del campo de los derechos) o, como mucho, como un derecho social— se convierten en tan exigibles como el mismo derecho civil o político **cuyo ejercicio permiten en nivel de igualdad**.

I can't get this part to sound right.....

Explanation:
Or perhaps "on the basis of equality". The syntax is a bit tricky, I agree. The subject of "permiten" is "medidas".

"On an equal footing" would be an idiomatic alternative for the last bit.

Explanation:
If you translate "exigibles" as 'entitlements', then you can omit the part about "ejercicio" entirely. It says the same thing and makes the structure much more amenable.
