Right To Development

The document discusses the right to development, which the UN General Assembly in 1986 defined as an inclusive economic, social, cultural, and political process aimed at improving everyone's well-being through their participation and fair distribution of benefits. It notes several international conventions on related topics. States have a duty to create conditions allowing development and respecting human rights. However, realizing the right to development has been slow, with no concrete progress. Good governance is seen as key, requiring transparency, accountability, and an effective legal system.
