(c) sustainability as a result of the integral, indivisible and interdependent approach; and (d) international cooperation. The Preamble to the UN Declaration on the Right to Development had a clear basis in the UN Charter, the UDHR, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. Its basis can also be found in agreements, conventions, resolutions, recommendations and other instruments of the UN and its specialised agencies and the promotion of friendly relations and cooperation among states in accordance with the UN Charter.22 Development is described in the Preamble to the UN Declaration as a comprehensive economic, social, cultural and political process, which aims at the constant improvement of the well-being of the entire population and of all individuals, on the basis of their active, free and meaningful participation in development and in the fair distribution of benefits resulting therefrom. The process of development acknowledged as a human right is one “in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realized,” with the constant improvement of well-being that is the object of development.23 The UN Declaration on the Right to Development proclaimed four points: (a) The right to development is an inalienable human right to which every human person and all people are entitled to participate, contribute and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development so that all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realised. (b) individual, being the central subject of development, should be the active participant and beneficiary of the right to development; (c) human beings have both individual and collective responsibility for development with full respect for their human rights and fundamental freedoms as well as their duties towards the community, and they should, therefore, promote and protect and appropriate political, social and economic order for development; and (d) states have the right and duty to formulate national development policies for continuous improvement of the well-being of the entire population and of all individuals, with their active and free and meaningful participation in development and in the fair distribution of the benefits resulting therefore.24 Article 1(1) of the UN Declaration on the Right to Development states: Rehman, Supra note 19 at 104-105.
