ABSTRACT

In article 6 the Declaration on the Right to Development states unequivocally that 'All human rights and fundamental freedoms are indivisible and interdependent' and that they should receive equal attention and urgent consideration. Furthermore, the Declaration passes over neither the internal nor the external factors impeding the realization of the right to development (denial of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights; inappropriate development policies; unfavourable national and international conditions; need to establish a new international economic order, to realize the right of peoples to self-determination and enable them to exercise their inalienable rights to full sovereignty over all their natural wealth and resources; primary responsibility of States for the creation of national and international conditions favourable to the realization of the right to development, and so on).
