The Right to Development in International Law

Subrata Roy Chowdhury, Erik M. G. Denters, Paul J. I. M. de Waart

Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, Apr 9, 1992 - Political Science - 415 pages

The chapters in this volume are based on the papers that were presented at the Calcutta seminar organized in March 1992 by the ILA Committee on Lehal Aspects of a New International Economic Order (NIEO). The conference focused on the right to development, in particular its ideas and ideology, human rights aspects and implementation in specific areas of international law. The volume is accordingly organized in three parts. The chapters cover a vast area of subjects, derived from the UN Declaration of the Right to Development. From the developed and underdeveloped world 33 authors discuss topics including: contents, scope and implementation of the right to development; human rights of individuals and peoples; co-operation between the European Community and the Lome IV states; current developments in investments treaties; refugee protection; development and democracy; concept of sustainable development; environmental issues; protection of intellectual property; transfer of technology; human rights in international financial institutions; and the legal conceptualization of the debt crisis. Professor Oscar Schachter observes in the first chapter that the Declaration continues to be a challenging subject for legal commentary' for its detable legal status, its combination of collective and individual rights, its expansive conception of development and its equivocal obligation'. Apart from support, doubts about the concept to the right to development may also be found in this volume.

Best Place To Get A Solution To Your Financial Problems ([e-mail])
My Name is Mrs Priscilla Jacobs, I live in USA and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family
now and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life, As i am a struggling mum
with two kids and i have been going through a serious problem as my husband encountered a terrible
accident last two months, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him
to be able to walk again and i could not afford the bill for his surgery then i went to the
bank for a loan and they turn me down stating that i have no credit card, from there i ran to my
father and he was not able to help me, then when i was browsing through the internet and i came
across a God fearing company (Morganar Ericks loan company) who provides loans at an
affordable interest rate of 2.5% and i have been hearing about so many scams on the Internet
all over the world, but at this my desperate situation, i had no choice than to give it an attempt due to
the fact that the company is from United State of America, and surprisingly it was all like a dream,
i received a loan of $800,000.00 USD and i payed for my husband surgery and thank GOD today he is OK
and can walk, my family is happy and i said to myself that i will shout to the world the wonders
this great and God fearing Woman Mrs Morganar Ericks did for me and my family; so if anyone is in interested in getting a fast loan do contact this GOD fearing woman via Email: ( [e-mail])
