Both the individual and collective dimensions of the right to development are interdependent and complimentary to each other. In an attempt to use both the interest of individual and that of international means in realisation between the interest of the individual and the community is required. “A healthy regard for the rights of the individual is indispensable for a state’s success in pursuing its right to development. At the same time, the right to development is for people what human rights are for individuals.”49 The human right to development as a collective right has attained a coherent configuration of all of its elements in international law.50 A question as to whether the right to development be designed as collective or individual or both needlessly gives rise to the problem about the possibility of choice. The right to development implies a harmony between the collectivity and individualistic. It would be fallacy to contemplate the right to development only at one level or the other. It must not be taken for granted that the engrossment of the individual and those of collectivity will be incompatible.51 5. International Solidarity International solidarity is recognised in a number of ways: (a) with reference to the right to development; (b) an advancement of this proposition within the structure of progressive development of international law as associated with the obligation to assist for global social justice; and, (c) realities of interrelationship as ordinarily challenges to peoples for sustainable development solutions. The comprehensive essence of the right to development by international solidarity contributes to a public-centric perspective to human welfare. International solidarity is a solution to the actualisation of the right to development. The vital content of this right is procured from the exigency for fairness at the national and international levels. It derives its power from the obligation of solidarity manifested in international joint action. This right to development as a human right has the prospect to deal with global challenges in an interrelated world economy because its perception of development … a process of development which leads to the realization of each human right and all of them together and which has to be carried out ina manner known as rightbased, in accordance with the international human rights standards, as a participatory, non-discriminatory, accountable and transparent process with equity in decision-making and sharing of the fruits of the process.
