World poverty represents a failure of the international community
to see half of the global population secure their basic
socio-economic rights. Yet international law foresees cooperation
as essential to the realization of these human rights. In an era of
considerable interdependence and entrenched economic and political
advantage, the particular features of contemporary world poverty
give rise to pressing questions about the scope, evolution, and
application of the international law of human rights, and the
attribution of global responsibility.
This book considers the evolving nature of public international
law and human rights with respect to international cooperation as a
basis for addressing the role and responsibility of the
international community in the creation of an environment conducive
to a human-centered globalization. It offers a detailed examination
of the historically controversial right to development and, through
a careful consideration of its current significance and
application, reflects the importance of the rationale of the right
to development onto the critical challenge of poverty in the 21st
century. Through doctrine and jurisprudence, this book charts
recent changes in international law relevant to the ability of
states to develop and to fulfill their human rights obligations,
and the reality that they are constrained by the actions and
structural arrangements of the powerful members of the
international community.
This book explores developments in the system of international
safeguards meant to correspond to the deprivation of economic,
social, and cultural rights today. By analyzing the approach,
contribution, and current limitations of theinternational law of
human rights to the manifestations of world poverty, the reader is
challenged to rethink human rights and, in particular, the framing
of responsibilities that are essential to their protection.
