Abstract: The right to development was recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 1988. Since then it has frequently been invoked in international conferences, pronouncements and documents. Yet there is a distinct feeling among governments and analysts that there has been no progress in its implementation. This lecture will examine the various factors -legal, political and economic- that have so far been obstacles to the implementation of the right to development, and will propose a conceptual approach that might overcome those obstacles.
