On 2 December 2014, in commemoration of the anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development, OHCHR organized a panel discussion on the theme of “Sustainable Development with Dignity and Justice for All – Realizing the Right to Development for Present and Future Generations”.6 The event was attended by representatives of Member States, international organizations and civil society and other stakeholders, with notable and active participation by young people and students. Participants shared stories, good practices, case studies and practical suggestions illustrating how the right to development can help realize sustainable development. Themes included: the obstacles posed by the international economic architecture on realizing the right to sustainable development; the right to development and the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway; Ebola virus and the right to development: realizing State responsibility; implementing the right to development for justice and peace; the path to sustainable development: lessons from the Bhopal disaster; the implications of hazardous substances on the rights of future generations; advancing the right to development: a child rights-based perspective; and young people’s participation at the United Nations to shape the world they want to see. The discussions reaffirmed the critical importance of fulfilling the right to development so as to meet equitably the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations. They reflected broad agreement that the right to development presents a vision for transformative development as it mandates an enabling environment, at both the national and international levels, for development that addresses root causes, systemic issues and structural challenges. 19. During the 2015 Social Forum of the Human Rights Council, which took place from 18 to 20 February, participants considered the issue of access to medicines in the context of the right to health.
