CONCLUSION The appearance of the human right to development as a conceptualisation of vital significance is a contemplation of its strong traits. The sustained growth of the idea and its application into a pragmatic direction and inspiration founded upon international human rights norms in relation to development enterprises is to be the subject to the subsequent plan of action.61 The right to development involves a system with fairness and righteousness. Any human rights-based approach to economic and social strategies must be built on the premise of righteousness because justice comes from the idea of human dignity and from a social contract, in which all members of a civil society are expected to be involved. It is intelligible from the UDHR that equity is a basic concern as its Article 1 propounds that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” Similarly, the UN Declaration on the Right to Development is based on the idea that this right involves a demand for and equity-based social order. A number of its provisions necessitate equality of opportunity, equality of access to resources, equality in allocation of advantage and uprightness of distribution, and equality in the right to development.62 An important principle of the human rights-based approach to the right to development calls for insistence on participatory responsibility of individuals. To be specific, people have a productive role in development programmes. An active and informed participation of stakeholders is to be in accordance with the human rights-based approach because the international human rights system asserts rights of individuals in the management of public affairs. The other principle of this approach responds to the progressive fulfilment of rights. The discourse on human rights acknowledges obstacles in the realisation of many rights immediately are because of the lack of resources, which may have to be satisfied in a progressive manner. The states admit that speedy progress towards the achievement of many human rights is thinkable within the existing resource limitations, while the realisation of some rights may be delayed because of the lack of resources.63 While the high level task force on the realisation of the right to development has concentrated that partnership between the developed and developing countries have given strength to the right to development in practice, the UN General Assembly Resolution 64/172 has recommended that “an international legal standard of a binding nature” on this right should be prepared.64 The changing awareness about the process Emergence of the Right to Development, Supra note 16, at 16.
