Human rights are central to development. Progress cannot be measured in economic terms alone. Moreover, economic progress itself only proceeds in a sustainable way when it is grounded in concern for human rights. In recent years there has been a growing realization, at all levels, that human rights and development are inextricably linked. Governments, international organization even financial institutions and business all are, at least in principle, accepting that concern for human rights must guide development efforts.
