Implementation of the Right to Development

SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE PROMOTION AND PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
56th session
26 July – 13 August 2004

[Excerpt from the statement]

For CETIM, promoting the right to development requires formal recognition of the validity, indivisibility, binding nature and justiciability of all human rights, including the right to solidarity, which are enshrined in numerous international instruments. It also implies replacing relations of exploitation and subordination with relations between equals, both at the interpersonal and international levels, so that all peoples and all human beings without exception can enjoy all rights.
