Abstract :
This article examines the complex and arguable concept of right to development in the light ofInternational Human Rights law and interprets it in an operational manner.It moved the concept of development beyond the economic growth of states and past earlierUN debates which were centered on development as a right among states. By casting developmentas a Human Right, the Declaration brought forth an appreciation that developmentis not what happens as a result of economic growth or development planning, it is a processthat allows for the full range of rights and has its goal to pursue self-actualization of people inconditions of dignity through the exercise of their rights.
