The right to development and the Human Rights Council

19/06/2006

HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
1st session
19 June – 30 June 2006

[Excerpt from the statement]

Moreover, for some, development is nothing more than economic growth, which is supposed to bring prosperity and, in turn, greater respect for human rights. However, the painful experience of many peoples crushed by poverty and oppression shows us the opposite.
