Abstract

This paper focuses on tracing legal framework on right to development (RTD) from historical, regional and international law perspective. The RTD is significant for consideration in modern world. After the World War-II, many international declarations and conventions were made to secure international Human rights following many treaties and covenants. The RTD, as a human right was part of these instruments as a lesser part that provides the marvellous opening to international community to study human rights trials in more inclusive and wider frameworks that attempts to fill the gap of the prevailing international human rights supervisory machinery to address wider and comprehensive challenges (Marks, 1998). In this context, this paper traces legal framework on RTD and analyses relevant key international documents. The methodology used in this paper is qualitative and an analytical method is followed. The paper concludes that, nevertheless, the RTD having its authenticity is well recognised in international instruments and Declarations and is available to all on the basis on humanity.
