The Right to Development (RTD), a concept that emerged in the 1970s, is one of the most debated and contentious issues in international relations. RTD builds on the rights based approach to development, seeking to integrate the norms and principles of human rights with policies and plans to promote development. Despite its importance for the world’s poor and dispossessed, a great deal of definitional confusion still surrounds the concept./-//-/This primer introduces the concept of RTD as well as discusses its practical application in the Indian setting. It is divided accordingly into two sections, the first of which traces the origins and the evolution of the idea of RTD. This section identifies the defining parameters and content of RTD and focuses especially on the three rights—the rights to food, education and health—that have been identified as a ‘good starting point’ for the implementation of RTD. The last chapter in this section underscores the importance of women’s rights in order to emphasise the need to focus on safeguarding and promoting the human rights of vulnerable groups./-//-/Part II covers substantially the Indian situation relating to RTD. The first chapter in this section provides an overview of the legal and institutional mechanism in India for the protection of human rights in general and women’s rights in particular. The next chapter examines the implementation of the rights to food, health and education. The last chapter in this section details the functioning of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) —which has emerged in recent years as an important mechanism for securing social justice—and the challenges and limitations of this mechanism.

In The Right to Development authors offer a new path for the implementation and protection of the right to development from the new perspective of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Instead of emphasizing the economic perspective, this book focuses on how to realize the right to sustainable development by resolution of conflicts among the economy, the environment and society. Integrating the value analysis into the empirical analysis method, this book expands the scope of the United Nations Declaration on the Right to Development and strengthens its practical function, extracts Chinese experiences, lessons from South Asia, local knowledge in South Africa and practice in Peru on the implementation of the right to development, and puts forward the idea of building human rights criteria in the South.

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.

The Right to Development (RTD) is a new and highly contested right. Its emergence is linked to the demand for a `new international economic order’ by developing countries. Composite in nature and integrating civil and political rights with economic, social and cultural rights, the RTD approach underscores participation, a fair sharing of benefits, transparency and non-discrimination. The present volume explores the theoretical and practical aspects of RTD as an alternative to existing approaches to development. It brings together the reflections and insights of some of the finest scholars on the specific aspects of RTD.

The right to development emerged in the 1970s as part of the struggle of developing countries for a new international economic order. This move culminated in the formal recognition of the existence of a human right to development through the UN Declaration on the Right to Development in 1986. Since then, efforts to implement the right to development could not achieve the desired result due to the high politicization of the subject. Academic literature on the right to development has also focused on the conceptual underpinnings of the subject rather than on giving operational substance to the principles of the RTD. This book analyzes the human rights obligations of International Financial Institutions through a right to development paradigm. In doing so it argues that both Customary International Law and the various human rights treaties impose a legal duty on International Financial Institutions to respect the human right to development.

The last couple of decades has not only witnessed an increased convergence between human rights and development but also a significant shift towards rights-based approaches to development, including especially responsiveness to the fact that development in itself is a human right guaranteed to be enjoyed by all peoples. This edited volume of peer-reviewed papers constitutes the first product resulting from the annual international conference series on the right to development, organised by the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, and the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute at the University of South Africa. It explores the complex nature of the right to development from a diversified perspective, including from a conceptual, thematic, country and regional points of view. Conceived with the purpose to overshadow dominant economic growth approaches to development, the perspectives on the right to development articulated in this publication seek to locate the developmentalist discourse within the framework of accountability and people-centred development programming, necessitating appropriate policy formulation to ensure the constant improvement in human well-being. The book is written with the aim to reach out to researchers, academics, practitioners and policy makers who desire an in-depth understanding of the right to development as it applies universally.

The current paper aims to explore the interrelationship between the right to development and rights-based approaches as a key to the implementation of international development. First, it researches the right to development as a human right. The paper starts the research from the historical background, the evolvement of the right to development going through the adoption of Declaration on the Right to Development till the creation of the Working group and High Level Task Force on the Right to Development and actions in the field. The research then goes further focusing on the Declaration on the Right to Development, the applicability of the articles and implications in the context of international development. The implications mostly refer to the fact that both developing and developed countries violate the right to development in their own way. Developing countries invoke the right to development to justify domination of economic development thus giving it priority over civil and political rights. Developed states, on the other hand, have the issue of providing a favorable atmosphere for the activities of their TNCs in developing countries very often in violation of human rights. The paper seeks to analyze and show that there can be no domination of one set of rights over the others, that all rights are indivisible and interdependent. Further, the research links the right to development to Millennium Development Goals, and Goal 8 in particular, focusing on their interrelationship in the context of development. The paper then elaborates on a rights-based approach to development cooperation. It makes a focus on the applicable principles and policies within the rights-based approach, and then takes a lead to discussion of development aid and conditionality in the context of development cooperation. The paper debates the concept of conditionality imposed by donor governments on recipient ones, about the advantages and disadvantages of the conditionality concept, coming to the conclusion that conditionality should be replaced by the notion of mutual accountability where there is a responsibility of both donor and recipient governments. And finally, the paper elaborates on mutual reinforcement of the right to development and the rights-based approach to explore their impacting potential on international development and gives recommendations on its implementation emphasizing the importance of several factors, such as adherence to human rights protection and promotion in development policies, indivisibility and interdependence of all human rights, replacement of conditionality with mutual accountability notion, good governance, participation, etc., which could lay the ground for the implementation of an appropriate international development while incorporating economic growth and social justice.

As the world continues to grapple with a range of practical development challenges that are directly linked to livelihood concerns about human well-being and declining living standards, often overlooked is the human right to development, which remains largely unfulfilled. In the face of successive global initiatives seeking to remedy these challenges, it has become urgent to ask what the universal recognition of the right to development implies if it cannot be translated into improved well-being for impoverished peoples around the world. The contributors in this timely volume argue that setbacks to development are deeply rooted in the failure to implement the right to development, which by nature guarantees equality of opportunities and equitable redistribution of the resources that contribute to better living standards. Assessing policy and practical measures (or the lack thereof), they offer practical suggestions for implementation that will make the right to development a reality for everyone.
