Contexte

This e-platform is dedicated to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1986 UN Declaration on the Right to Development. It aims to raise awareness of the importance of the right to development and its increasing relevance in addressing contemporary challenges that the world is facing today. The lack of fulfilment of the Declaration around the world directly affects the realization of a wide range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. A better knowledge of the basic requirements under the right to development will result in an increased interest to elevate this highly significant Declaration in the priority agenda of the international community.
