Human Rights Protection by the International Right to Development

Abstract

In the author’s opinion the attempt to shift human rights from the intrastate plane onto the plane of international law is by no means justified, because humans rights are already included in the latter. Rather the problem is to work out measures of realizing the rights.

The international right of development constitutes such a measure. For the Third World countries this right is the right of hope. Despite the fact that this right is not part of international convention but only of the Rights and Obligations of States Charter announced in 3974 in the from of a resolution, it has its binding legal force.

According to the author the principle of common appropriation of goods and the principle of solidarity constitute the fundamental parts of the international right to development.
