Development Cooperation
Book Contribution - Chapter
This contribution explores whether there is a state duty to provide development cooperation, and a corresponding human right to development cooperation. First, I brush a broad picture of the field of human rights and development, and situate the discussions on human rights and development cooperation within that field. Second, I scrutinize how the debate on duties and rights with regard to development cooperation has unfolded in human rights law. I look in particular at the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and its Optional Protocol; the Convention on the Rights of the Child; the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Right to Development. In a concluding section, I end with challenges and trends.
