Rights to Development

Franciscans International continues to advocate for the Right to Development as a universal, indivisible human right.

Franciscans International has followed the last session of the Working Group on the Right to Development (February 2003) and it will monitor the end of its deliberations during the Commission. We renew our commitment to promote the process leading to the implementation of the right to development as a universal, indivisible human right. Specifically, FI will support the proposal that the Working Group consider a number of country specific situations, particularly best practices of both donor and recipient countries, in order to permit a concrete discussion of practical policies and activities in support of the right to development.
