A/HRC/12/WG.2/TF/2 page 22 States though collective obligations may not be sufficiently explicit. The activities of international institutions and other bilateral and multilateral arrangements, especially those involved in the financing of development, including issues related to trade, debt, aid and technology flows, are highly critical for the realization to the right to development. 101. As a first step to set up a rigorous framework for selection of criteria and refining those that have been already proposed, the task force finds it useful to identify the principal components or attributes of the right to development, based on a reading of the Declaration, and to structure the criteria around them. The elaboration on the normative content of the right in the deliberations of the Working Group at its various sessions, the earlier follow-up mechanisms established after the adoption of the Declaration in 1986 and the reports of the independent expert on the right to development were also taken into account when identifying the components of the right. By selecting the principal components of a right, the process of identifying suitable criteria and their appropriate qualitative and quantitative measures is facilitated by a categorization that is clear, concrete and, perhaps, more tangible in facilitating such a selection.2 The acceptability of the approach critically rests on being able to identify components that must be (a) mutually exclusive, that is, to the extent feasible they do not overlap in their scope; and (b) based on an exhaustive reading of the normative framework so that, to the extent feasible, the complete standard is reflected in the selection of the components of the right and its corresponding criteria, subcriteria or the relevant quantitative and qualitative measures that support the operationalization of the identified criteria. 102. The task force has identified three main components of the right to development, around which revised criteria and subcriteria can be structured. These are comprehensive human-centred development, enabling environment and social justice and equity. The proposed revised criteria have been identified for each of these components. 103. In its preambular paragraph, the Declaration on the Right to Development recognizes that development is a comprehensive economic, social, cultural and political process that aims at the constant improvement of the well-being of the entire population and of all individuals on the basis of their active, free and meaningful participation in development and in the fair distribution of benefits resulting thereof. It recognizes the human person as the central subject of development and as an active participant and beneficiary of the right to development. It is holistic in terms of both development outcomes and the process underpinning that development. A comprehensive human-centred development, at an operational level, implies (a) indivisibility and interdependence of human rights in development such that the relevant standards on the civil and political rights and the economic social and cultural rights have to be seen as an integrated whole that needs to be reflected accordingly in the development strategy (art. 1(1), 6(2) and 9(1)); (b) the importance of not only the outcomes of the development process, which can be identified with the realization of all human rights, but also of the process of their realization (art. 1(1), 2 (1 to 3) and 8(2)) (in other words, a complementarity of the process and outcomes in the 2 This was the approach of OHCHR in the identification of indicators for promoting and monitoring the implementation of human rights for human rights treaty bodies.
