A/HRC/19/45 is “an inalienable human right” by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development, through which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realized. The complementarity between the rights contained in the Covenant and the right to development in the Declaration is manifest, inter alia, in the correspondence between articles 3 and 4 of the Declaration on the Right to Development relating to national and international responsibilities and article 2 of the Covenant on obligations of States parties, including the duty to provide international assistance and cooperation; and in the provisions of article 8(1) of the Declaration on the Right to Development and those of the Covenant relating for example to ensuring the empowerment and active participation of women, disadvantaged and marginalized individuals and groups, employment, basic resources and fair distribution of income, eradication of poverty and the provision of an adequate standard of living, including food and housing, health services, education, and enjoyment of culture. The Committee, in pursuance of its mandate,c has adopted several General Comments and statements which not only complement the substance of the right to development but also indicate the ways and means of implementing the fundamental elements of the right to development. These include general comment No. 3 on the nature of States parties‟ obligations (14 December 1990)d and the statements on globalization (15 May 1998),e poverty (4 May 2001),f and the Millennium Development Goals (September 2010).g Moreover, in its dialogue with States parties, the Committee also consistently recalls the commitment of developed countries to provide at least 0.7 per cent of gross national product (GNP) as official development assistance (ODA),h as well as the duty incumbent on all States to co-operate in the promotion of development and respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms, in accordance with the UN Charter. The Committee considers that the right to development, through the systematic application of the core principles of equality, non-discrimination, participation, transparency and accountability at both the national and international levels, establishes a specific framework within which the duty to provide international cooperation and assistance has to be implemented. The Committee, recognizing and reaffirming the linkage and the synergy between the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Declaration on the Right to Development, is resolved to continue monitoring the implementation of all the rights protected by the Covenant contributing simultaneously to the full realization of the relevant elements of the right to development. In doing so, the Committee will, in its c d e f g h Economic and Social Council resolutions 1985/17 and 1987/5. E/1991/23. E/1999/22-E/C.12/1998/26, chap. VI, sect. A, para. 515. E/C.12/2001/10.
