The United Nations is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the
1986 Declaration on the Right to Development, which proclaimed the
right to be: 'an inalienable human right by virtue of which every
human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in,
contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political
development, in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can
be realized'. The UN now aims to mainstream the right into its
policies and operational activities, and is reviewing prospects for
an internationally-binding legal instrument. The evolution of the
right to development, however, has been dominated by debates about
its conceptual validity and practical ramifications. It has been
hailed as the cornerstone of the entire human rights system and
criticized as a distracting ideological initiative. Questions also
persist about the role of the right in reforming the international
economic order. This book examines the legal and moral foundations
of the right to development, addressing the major issues. It then
considers the right to development in the global economy, noting
the challenges of globalization and identifying key principles such
as differential treatment of developing countries, participation
and accountability. It relates the right to broad objectives such
as the Millennium Development Goals, the human rights-based
approach to development, and environmental sustainability.
Implications for international economic law and policy in the areas
of trade, development finance and corporate responsibility are
assessed. The conclusion looks to the legal and ethical
contributions - and limitations - of the right to development in
this new context. With an academic and professional background in
international law, human rights and moral theology, the author
brings a unique interdisciplinary focus to this timely project.
