A/HRC/27/27 26. The High Commissioner reminded States that the right to development puts people at the centre of development. It addresses the linkages between the national and international conditions that are necessary for development. The right also provides substance for the guarantee enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of a social and international order in which human rights can be fully realized. A truly enabling environment for development must address both the national and international constraints that limit the potential for development in all countries. Human rights entail extraterritorial obligations for all States to ensure that their policy decisions (as well as other actors under their jurisdiction, such as private corporations) do not have a negative impact on the human rights of people living in other countries.10 27. The current model of development is unequal, unstable and unsustainable. The financial, food, fuel, energy and climate crises have exacerbated inequalities both within and between countries, depriving millions of people of their right to a decent standard of living. In the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, entitled “The future we want”, States called for a world that is “just, equitable and inclusive”.11 28. A central objective of the new development agenda must be the eradication of poverty, especially extreme poverty, which should be understood more broadly than an income of $1.25 per day. Poverty is multidimensional. It is rooted in the chronic deprivation of resources, capabilities, choices, security and power necessary for an adequate standard of living and other fundamental human rights. The new agenda must therefore aim to promote and protect both freedom from want and freedom from fear for all people, without discrimination. It must aim to fulfil the rights to education, health, housing, food, water, sanitation and decent work and social security. It must also take account of people’s concerns relating to personal security, access to and administration of justice, and the possibility of political participation, including free expression and association. 29. Furthermore, the imperative of equality should underpin the entire agenda, so that marginalized groups, previously locked out from development, are included. This implies that three principles –equality, non-discrimination and a broader sense of equity –are integrated throughout the sustainable development goals. One of the key failings of the Millennium Development Goals was their focus on average statistics and aggregate progress, which excluded many people from development. Inequalities, both within and between countries, have risen in ways that put economic growth and social cohesion at risk, as social tensions flare into divisive and violent conflict. Equality must be integrated throughout the new framework. This can be achieved by disaggregating data for all social groups for all goals, targets and indicators, and monitoring progress for each group. This will help to create greater equity in access to health, education and other key social services. It will help to ensure the inclusion of the marginalized, disempowered and excluded groups, including women, minorities, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, migrants and others. The new targets and indicators must also include measures to eliminate discrimination and measures to reduce social, economic and environmental inequalities. This should include addressing the unequal environmental burdens borne by 10 11 The high-level task force on the implementation of the right to development concluded that the responsibility for the creation of an enabling environment for the realization of the right to development encompassed three main levels: (a) States acting collectively in global and regional partnerships; (b) States acting individually as they adopt and implement policies that affect persons not strictly within their jurisdiction; and (c) States acting individually as they formulate. national development policies and programmes affecting persons within their jurisdiction.
