It is a mainstreaming process to link human rights to development
It is a conceptual framework for the process of human development that is normatively based on international human rights standards and operationally directed to promoting and protecting human rights
As an approach to development it essentially integrates the norms standards and principles of the international human rights system into planspolicies and processes of development
The development process is normatively based
on international HR standards and principles
It recognizes human beings as rights-holders
and establishes obligations for duty-bearers
It focuses on discriminated and marginalized
groups
It aims for the progressive achievement of all
human rights
It gives equal importance to the outcome and
process of development

What value does a human rights-based approach What value does a human rights-based approach add to developmentadd to development
Two main rationales for a human rights-based approach
(a) the intrinsic rationale acknowledging that a human rights-based approach is the right
thing to do morally or legally and (b) the instrumental rationale recognizing that a human rights-based approach leads to
better and more sustainable human development outcomes
In practice the reason for pursuing a human rights-based approach is usually a blend of these two
A human rights approach adds value because it provides a normative framework of obligations that has legal power to render governments accountable ndash Mary Robinson World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002
HRBA seeks to analyse inequalities which lie at the heart of development problems and redress discriminatory practices and unjust distributions of power that impede development progress
Mere charity is not enough from a human rights perspective
Under a human rights-based approach the planspolicies and processes of development are anchored in a system of rights and corresponding obligations established by international law This helps to promote the sustainability of development work empowering people themselvesmdashespecially the most marginalizedmdashto participate in policy formulation and hold accountable those who have a duty to act
As development policies and programmes are formulated the main objective should be to fulfil human rights
1048694 A human rights-based approach identifies rightsholders and their entitlements and corresponding duty-bearers and their obligations and works towards strengthening the capacities of rights-holders to make their claims and of duty-bearers to meet their obligations

ldquoA rights-based approach is founded on the conviction that each and every human being by virtue of being human is a holder of rights A right entails an obligation on the part of the government to respect promote protect and fulfill it The legal and normative character of rights and the associated governmental obligations are based on international human rights treaties and other standards as well as on human rights provisions in national constitutions Thus a rights-based approach involves not charity or simple economic development but a process of enabling and empowering those not enjoying their ESC [economic social and cultural] rights to claim their rightsrdquo

(a) the intrinsic rationale acknowledging that a human rights-based approach is the right
thing to do morally or legally and (b) the instrumental rationale recognizing that a human rights-based approach leads to
better and more sustainable human development outcomes
In practice the reason for pursuing a human rights-based approach is usually a blend of these two
A human rights approach adds value because it provides a normative framework of obligations that has legal power to render governments accountable ndash Mary Robinson World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002
HRBA seeks to analyse inequalities which lie at the heart of development problems and redress discriminatory practices and unjust distributions of power that impede development progress
Mere charity is not enough from a human rights perspective
Under a human rights-based approach the planspolicies and processes of development are anchored in a system of rights and corresponding obligations established by international law This helps to promote the sustainability of development work empowering people themselvesmdashespecially the most marginalizedmdashto participate in policy formulation and hold accountable those who have a duty to act
As development policies and programmes are formulated the main objective should be to fulfil human rights
1048694 A human rights-based approach identifies rightsholders and their entitlements and corresponding duty-bearers and their obligations and works towards strengthening the capacities of rights-holders to make their claims and of duty-bearers to meet their obligations

ldquoA rights-based approach is founded on the conviction that each and every human being by virtue of being human is a holder of rights A right entails an obligation on the part of the government to respect promote protect and fulfill it The legal and normative character of rights and the associated governmental obligations are based on international human rights treaties and other standards as well as on human rights provisions in national constitutions Thus a rights-based approach involves not charity or simple economic development but a process of enabling and empowering those not enjoying their ESC [economic social and cultural] rights to claim their rightsrdquo

It is a mainstreaming process to link human rights to development
It is a conceptual framework for the process of human development that is normatively based on international human rights standards and operationally directed to promoting and protecting human rights
As an approach to development it essentially integrates the norms standards and principles of the international human rights system into planspolicies and processes of development
The development process is normatively based
on international HR standards and principles
It recognizes human beings as rights-holders
and establishes obligations for duty-bearers
It focuses on discriminated and marginalized
groups
It aims for the progressive achievement of all
human rights
It gives equal importance to the outcome and
process of development

What value does a human rights-based approach What value does a human rights-based approach add to developmentadd to development
Two main rationales for a human rights-based approach
(a) the intrinsic rationale acknowledging that a human rights-based approach is the right
thing to do morally or legally and (b) the instrumental rationale recognizing that a human rights-based approach leads to
better and more sustainable human development outcomes
In practice the reason for pursuing a human rights-based approach is usually a blend of these two
A human rights approach adds value because it provides a normative framework of obligations that has legal power to render governments accountable ndash Mary Robinson World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002
HRBA seeks to analyse inequalities which lie at the heart of development problems and redress discriminatory practices and unjust distributions of power that impede development progress
Mere charity is not enough from a human rights perspective
Under a human rights-based approach the planspolicies and processes of development are anchored in a system of rights and corresponding obligations established by international law This helps to promote the sustainability of development work empowering people themselvesmdashespecially the most marginalizedmdashto participate in policy formulation and hold accountable those who have a duty to act

A human rights approach adds value because it provides a normative framework of obligations that has legal power to render governments accountable ndash Mary Robinson World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002
HRBA seeks to analyse inequalities which lie at the heart of development problems and redress discriminatory practices and unjust distributions of power that impede development progress
Mere charity is not enough from a human rights perspective
Under a human rights-based approach the planspolicies and processes of development are anchored in a system of rights and corresponding obligations established by international law This helps to promote the sustainability of development work empowering people themselvesmdashespecially the most marginalizedmdashto participate in policy formulation and hold accountable those who have a duty to act
As development policies and programmes are formulated the main objective should be to fulfil human rights
1048694 A human rights-based approach identifies rightsholders and their entitlements and corresponding duty-bearers and their obligations and works towards strengthening the capacities of rights-holders to make their claims and of duty-bearers to meet their obligations
