Criticism of the report on the right to development

20/03/2000

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
56th session
20 March – 28 April 2000

[Excerpt from the statement]

Promoting the right to development effectively and efficiently implies the freedom to act in this direction, to adopt a strategy. We must therefore draw conclusions from the resolutely political, rather than technocratic, nature of the choices involved in such a strategy. We must therefore examine much more explicitly the conditions under which such rights could be guaranteed, and what social and political basis could support them.
