A/HRC/41/50 allowing States to create an enabling international and national environment to overcome structural obstacles and challenges. However, political debates and controversies regarding the interpretation and implementation of the right to development continue, and its full implementation has not yet been achieved despite the adoption of new international instruments and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda is a basic global guide to overcoming challenges for the full enjoyment of human rights through the implementation of the right to development. Serving human well-being is at the heart of inclusive and sustained development, and therefore there is a call for all Governments to take urgent measures to protect the endangered rights of citizens and their living standards, to address all social injustices and to promote equal opportunities for all people. It is emphasized in the 2030 Agenda that development and human rights are mutually reinforcing. The 2030 Agenda is grounded in human rights, including the international human rights instruments adopted by Member States, and informed by other instruments such as the Declaration on the Right to Development. Development contributes to better enjoyment of human rights, as greater availability of resources can enhance the availability, accessibility and quality of goods and services that are necessary for the enjoyment of human rights, such as the rights to health, education, food, water and sanitation, housing and social security. Development also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. 18. A human rights-based approach to development helps to ensure that development is sustainable, avoids a negative impact on people and reaches those who have been left behind. A rights-based approach helps to define sustainable development both substantively, as it clarifies the content of the rights required for development, and also in terms of the process, since incorporating the principles of equality, non-discrimination, participation, accountability and transparency enhances the effectiveness and legitimacy of development. A human rights-based approach also sets out the duties of the international community in order to create a social and international order in which all human rights can be fully realized, which is closely related to Sustainable Development Goal 17 on strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development. 19. Inclusive development is the means of achieving the realization of human rights. The concept of inclusive development was first proposed by the Asian Development Bank in 2007 and is now widely accepted by the international community. Inclusive development is development for all, for individuals belonging to all countries and regions, and it attracts everyone’s participation and benefits all. It is comprehensive, equal and fair, and includes economic, social and cultural development. Inclusion is the key to the fair distribution of resources, to generating more resources and to avoiding conflicts. 7 20. At the international level, it is important to take into account the prevailing concept of “joint development”, which is development that is fair, open, comprehensive and innovative, with a focus on promoting inclusive development and creating the conditions necessary for people to share the right to development. Under the concept of joint development, global economic governance should be based on equality to better reflect the new realities of the world economy, enhance the emerging market, and strengthen the representation and voice of developing countries in the international economic effort to ensure equal rights, equal opportunities, equal rules, and the realization of a shared right to development for all.8 21. There is still a strong debate surrounding the principles of equality, nondiscrimination, participation, accountability and transparency, which uphold the right to development, and over which priorities should be chosen in the formulation of national development policies. Some analysts believe that economic freedom and property rights are capable of guaranteeing a real and equal enjoyment of all other rights, that will result in a level of prosperity generated by economic growth that provides more and better 7 8 6 María Soledad Pérez Tello, “South-south inclusive development and realization of human rights”, paper collection prepared for the South-South Human Rights Forum.
