Development and Human Rights: The Necessary, but Partial Integration of Human Rights and Development

Abstract

In 1995, the Human Rights Council of Australia (HRCA) published The Rights Way to Development: Human Rights Approach to Development Assistance. 1 The authors presented a further development of these ideas at a seminar at the Danish Centre for Human Rights in 1997, attended by people from both development and human rights circles. The authors of the report met with a mixed reception, receiving critique especially from those in development quarters.
